EASY CROCK POT CHILI



Easy Crock Pot Chili image

My latest chili recipe - I've found it tastes best if made the day before. Adjust the heat by using hot, medium or mild picante sauce and taco seasoning (I use hot for both). Red pepper flakes are optional, but I like it hot and use 2 teaspoons.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 3h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs lean ground beef, cooked and drained
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) jar picante sauce (mild, medium or hot)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning (mild, medium or hot)
2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, in sauce
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, undrained
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2-2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in Crock Pot.
  • Cover; cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Note: To make on stovetop, mix all ingredients in a big soup pot; cover and simmer for about an hour or so.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chili will be. This means using fresh vegetables, lean ground beef, and flavorful spices.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: Chili is all about the flavor, so don't be afraid to add a generous amount of spices. Common spices used in chili include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the crock pot: This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sweetness can help to balance out the heat of the chili. This can be added in the form of brown sugar, honey, or even a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Common toppings for chili include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Chili is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a very versatile dish that can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you like it mild or spicy, with or without beans, or with a variety of toppings, there is a chili recipe out there for everyone.
