$50 Chili - for the Crockpot image

First, thank you to *Parsley* - Chef # 199848 - for inspiring me with her "Thick and Chunky Crock Pot Game Day Chili," Recipe #251837. I had tried about 20 different recipes for Chili, and *Parsley*'s was the best. But I've been tweaking it for a year and a half now, and I think I did it! This chili is medium to medium-hot, not very sweet, hearty and stew-like, with depth and a delicious aftertaste. I make in a 7-quart crockpot, for my large family. If you like your chili sweeter, use a red onion instead of a white onion; add more brown sugar; and/or add more chocolate chips. Be careful: a little chocolate - just like cumin and cinnamon - goes a looonnnngggg way!

Time 5h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2 lbs stewing beef, cut into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 lbs stewing pork, cut into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes
1 big white onion, chopped
3 small bell peppers, chopped, I like to use 1 each of red, yellow, and orange
1 -2 orange habanero pepper, chopped, careful, these are HOT
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon spice world chopped garlic
5 (15 1/2 ounce) cans beans, I use 2 cans dark red kidneys, 2 cans light red kidneys, and 1 can black
2 (16 ounce) jars chunky salsa, medium (I like Pace)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1 1/2-2 cups crushed tostito tortilla chips
1 chicken bouillon cube, crushed
1 beef bouillon cube, crushed
1 1/4 teaspoons sazon goya
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
5 teaspoons Mexican chili powder
4 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
5 -10 dark chocolate chips, yes, between 5 and 10 chips, depending on desired sweetness

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a 7-quart crockpot. It might be easier to combine in a larger vessel, mix, and THEN transfer to your crockpot. Cook on "High" for 5 hours, or "Low" for 8 hours.
  • I typically serve the chili over a bed of whole Tostito chips, with a layer of shredded cheese in between.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many good reviews. It's the worst chili I've ever had.

This chili is not worth your time or money. It's bland and flavorless.

I made this chili last night and it was a huge disappointment. The flavors were bland and it was way too salty.

This chili is amazing! I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in my crockpot and walk away. It's perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

I've tried a lot of chili recipes, but this crockpot chili is by far the best. It's so easy to make, and the results are always delicious.

This chili recipe is a keeper! I made it for my family last night and they loved it. The flavors are amazing, and it's just the right amount of spicy. I will definitely be making this again.
