A Reader’s Review

I love all chili recipes, have one similar to this but have never tested it in a crockpot, so good to know this one works well in one, thank you!

What Makes This So Good? Let Me Spill the Beans

• It’s wildly easy: Like… dump it in the crockpot, go live your life, and come back to chili that tastes like you tried hard! (But we know we didn’t!)
• The flavor is next-level: I don’t know what kind of magic happens in that pot, but it’s seriously so good! And with the toppings, get outta here!
• Leftovers slap: Day two chili? Even better. Make extra so you can heat it up all week for quick and hearty lunches!

Let’s Make Some Crock Pot Chili!

This crockpot chili recipe only takes about 5 minutes to put together! Then you let the slow cooker do all of the work. You’ll have time to make some cornbread and honey butter to go with it!

1. Brown the meat: In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the beef for about 7 minutes or until brown.
2. Add ingredients: Add the beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, salt, and cayenne to the slow cooker.
3. Cook: Stir everything until combined, then cook on low for 5-6 hours. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Freezer MealSlow Cooker Chili

Instructions:

1. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and cooked through. Set the cooked beef aside and let it cool.
2. Add the cooked and cooled beef to a gallon-sized, freezer-safe, sealable storage bag with the onion, bell pepper, garlic, beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, salt, and cayenne.
3. Mix everything well and then press out as much air as possible. Seal the bag and freeze it flat for better storage.

Reheat:

1. Remove the bag from the freezer one hour before cooking to allow it to thaw slightly on the counter.
2. Pour the contents of the bag into a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours, until everything is heated through and well combined.
3. Serve fresh with your favorite chili toppings!
