Easy Crock Pot Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Stir browned beef, chili beans in sauce, stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and green chilies, onion, tomato paste, brown sugar, chili seasoning mix, and barbeque sauce together in the crock of a slow cooker.
• Cook on High for 3 hours.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. (if using stew meat or buffalo meat only brown the meat, do not fully cook!).
• Drain meat if necessary.
• Combine meat/onion/garlic mixture with the remainder of the ingredients and put in slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove bay leaf prior to serving.
• I use Frontier Co-op spices that I purchase at my local health food co-op. I find their spices are extremely fresh and their 90,000 hu cayeene is great for slow-cooking recipes!
• If making this as a vegetarian chili, simply skip the meat and add more beans. I love to add black beans. Yum!
• Serve over rice or eat as is.
