To the slow cooker, add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, curry powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. To combine, stir everything together. Stir the beef broth into the slow cooker once more. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, covered. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or cilantro.
