CROCKPOT GOURMET CHILI

Crockpot Gourmet Chili image

This recipe is my own creation for healthy low fat chili with gourmet toppings. Regular chili needs to be dressed up for flavor and fun! The base recipe is very mild for the sensitive pallet. It is easy to make a 5-alarm version by adding cayenne or your favorite habanero sauce. Or, make everyone happy and serve the "super hot sauce" as an additional optional topping. The cool sour cream and tomatoes offset the heat of the chili.

2 (15 ounce) cans low fat chili with meat and beans

Set crockpot on low heat and let cook for 8-10 hours, until pork tenderloin is soft.

Tips:

Using high-quality ingredients will greatly enhance the flavor of your Crockpot Gourmet Chili. Fresh vegetables, flavorful spices, and tender cuts of meat will make all the difference.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chili peppers. The type of pepper you use will determine the heat level of your chili, so choose accordingly.
If you want a thicker chili, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry. Just mix equal parts cornstarch or flour with cold water until smooth, then stir it into the chili. Bring the chili to a simmer and cook until thickened.
Serve your Crockpot Gourmet Chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.
