The Ultimate Slow Cooked Chili image

Chili is always a little bit of experimentation, a whole lot of flavor, and one of my absolute favorite dishes. There is always a little give and take but here is my honed recipe with the (staple) list of ingredients. Serve in a bowl on a cold night or even spread over white or brown rice sometimes. Always sprinkle generously with Cheddar cheese and crumbled tortilla chips and maybe a dollop of sour cream and enjoy!

This chili is a great make-ahead meal. You can cook it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week. It's also great for freezing.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add in whatever I have on hand, such as chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini.

I love that this chili is made with ground turkey. It's a healthier option, but it's still just as delicious as traditional chili.
