Make Crockpot Chili
After you drain any of the excess grease from the skillet, add the ground beef to your Crockpot. Then, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, the chopped onions, ยผ cup of chopped jalapeรฑos, both cans of chili beans, 1 can of diced tomatoes, and 1 can of tomato paste to the Crockpot.
Stir everything together well. Now we will add in all of the seasonings: 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, ยฝ teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and cumin, and ยฝ teaspoon of onion powder.
Next, fill up one of the empty cans from the chili beans with water and pour that into the crockpot.
Stir everything well and cook on low heat for about 6-8 hours.
Serve Crockpot Chili
Once the chili has cooked in your slow cooker all day long, it’s time to eat! Top your chili with any of your favorite toppings. I like top mine with shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese, Fritos, and green onions.
We love to eat our chili with peanut butter sandwiches!
The sweet peanut butter with the savory chili is the perfect combo! It is interesting to hear what everyone serves with chili because everyone always says different things depending on their region!
If you have a lot of leftovers, this chili recipe freezes well. It is nice to have some in the freezer that I can pull out for a quick weeknight meal.
This recipe is a crowd pleaser and doesn’t cost you much to make it! Try this Chili recipe out, I hope you enjoy it!
