This is our third chili recipe on the blog so you can tell my family likes chili. It is something that cooks in the slow cooker and is ready when we are, plus I know my kids will almost always eat it. This recipe was a big hit. It had just the right amount of flavor without the kids complaining it was spicy (my husband always adds extra spices at the table!)
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
half onion, chopped
three cloves garlic, minced
1 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomatoes (or fresh, chopped)
1 can chilis
1 can tomato paste
2 Tbsp chili seasoning (divided use)
1 cup and 1/4 water (plus more depending on thickness of chili)
I used this recipe from budget bytes to make my seasoning this time. This is the recipe for what you would need for one pot of chili. I always at least double it and save what I don't use for next time.
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cayenne
1/4 ground pepper
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Brown the ground beef in a skillet with the onions and garlic. Add salt and pepper and 1-2 tsp chili seasoning.
Once browned, using a slotted spoon transfer the meat mixture to your crockpot. Add remaining ingredients to the crockpot, including the remaining ~ 1 Tbsp chili seasoning. Add more or less water depending on the thickness preference of your chili.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
We served ours with whole grain penne, freshly shredded cheddar and sour cream. (I also added shredded lettuce and carrots to mine). You could also serve this with tortilla chips, in burrito bowls with rice, over salad, or straight up just chili.
My kids, even the picky one, ate THREE bowls each! This is definitely going to be added to the rotation for fall and winter crockpot meals.
