Easy Crockpot Chili
A big bowl of chili is the ultimate chilly weather meal. That is why it is one of our favorite meals.
What makes this the best chili is the perfect blend of seasonings and the fact that it cooks low and slow for several hours, which helps add depth to the flavors. Once you give it a try I can pretty much guarantee that you will add it to your regular meal rotation. It is that good.
Plus, you can’t beat how easy it is to make. The crockpot does all the work!
Ingredients
- ground beef
- onions
- garlic
- vegetable oil
- kidney beans
- crushed tomatoes
- distilled white vinegar
- chili powder
- ground cumin
- crushed red pepper
- salt & pepper (whoops, forgot to include those in the picture!)
How to Make Chili in the Slow Cooker
I also love how easy this chili is to make. Simply brown the beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet, then add it to your crockpot along with all the remaining ingredients. Set to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-4 hours.
Then go about your day and come home to a delicious slow-cooked dinner.
Can dinner be this quick and easy every night, please?
Topping Ideas
Top your bowl of chili with one or more of these tasty toppings:
- shredded cheese
- sour cream
- hot sauce
- corn chips
- avocados
- jalapenos
- diced tomatoes
- chopped onion
- cilantro
- green onions
My favorite topping? Shredded cheese. It melts right into the steaming hot chili and gives it a bit of added creaminess. So good!
