Slow Cooker Recipe
Flavorful Chili
You’ll never guess this hearty chili calls for just five ingredients. Thick with ground beef and beans in a tomato-y sauce with just a hint of sweetness, this is the perfect September meal.
Brown the ground beef in the morning, toss everything in the slow cooker, and let it simmer on Low all day. When your little scholars return from school, they’ll be greeted by the heavenly aroma of chili. Instead of asking, “What can I have for snack?” they’ll be asking, “When can we eat?”
Pull together a quick green salad and some corn muffins or tortilla chips, and you can answer, “As soon as you finish your homework!”

I have been making my chili in the crockpot for years. I add a bottle of beer with the tomato sauce. It makes it very yummy. I also do this time saving step. When I buy my ground beef on sale. I will buy at least 10 pounds extra & cook it. Brown it up, crumble it up & cool. Allow to cool. Divide it into equal bags to freeze. Your burger is ready whenever you are.
This chili is also great on hot dogs. And we like it spicy so ignore the fact I don’t measure the hot sauce. Thanks for the recipe. Cindy LOL sounds delicious!
I love the bottle of beer idea:)!! can’t wait to try this recipe! thanks for the idea.
I like to substitute lentils for the kidney beans
Cindy, do you put extra tomato sauce when you add the bottle of beer or does is cook off enough not to dilute the chili?
Was trying to find something quick for dinner for the visiting cousins and was really grateful I found this. Very good evening meal recipe.
I like to throw in chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and black beans.
