How To Make Crock Pot Chili

  1. Cook Vegetables and Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon, cooking until browned and no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  2. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Drain the beef and vegetable mixture, then add it to a slow cooker. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, kidney beans, beef broth, chipotle chile, adobo sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours. After cooking, reduce heat to warm.
  4. Serve: Serve the chili in bowls, topped with sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeños, and tortilla chips.

Recipe Tips

  • Use Lean Ground Beef: Opt for lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) to keep your chili rich in flavor but lower in fat.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: If you like a milder chili, remove the chipotle chile or reduce the amount of adobo sauce.
  • Don’t Skip the Sautéing: Sautéing the onions, bell peppers, and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker enhances the flavor and depth of the chili.
  • Add Extra Beans for Texture: If you prefer a thicker chili, add an extra can of kidney beans or mash some beans before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Let It Sit Before Serving: Allow the chili to sit for 10-15 minutes after cooking. This helps the flavors blend together better and thickens the texture.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers crock pot chili in a sealed container. It lasts for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Freeze: Store leftovers crock pot chili in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stove or microwave.
