Remove pan from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
Drain and rinse beans, discarding cooking water.
While beans are standing, in a 4-quart or larger electric slow cooker, combine onion, garlic, red peppers, allspice, cumin, coriander, oregano, baking soda, and chiles.
Crumble in beef; mix to coat with seasonings.
Stir in beans; pour in broth.

Cover and cook until chili is very hot (about 30 more minutes).
Skim and discard fat from chili, if necessary.
Season to taste with salt.
