Prep 15 min · Cook 4 hr

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon for about 5 minutes. Done when beef is browned, 160°F.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Pour in the water and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Transfer the skillet mixture to a small 1.5 or 2-quart slow cooker. Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes with their juices, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours (or on high for 2 hours) until the beef is tender and the chili is thick. Stir once halfway through if the top looks dry.
Stir in the lime juice. Taste and add a final pinch of salt if needed. Ladle the chili into a bowl.
