Easy slow cooker chili recipes

Life is so busy and these days the only way I manage to get dinner on the table is because of my slow cooker! With so many amazing recipes, dinner never gets boring and the crock pot makes it so easy.

These easy slow cooker chili recipes are a big hit with our family. We like this classic recipe for Quick and Easy Crockpot Chili. Top it with cheese, corn chips and maybe a few more onions and it is SO good!

Sometimes we need a change though and I fix this Crock Pot Taco Chili. It’s very similar to taco soup.

I put out a ton of toppings and everyone just grabs what they want. A few favorites are spring onions, tortilla chips, cheese, hot sauce and sour cream! So good!

If I make beef brisket and have leftovers, we love Slow Cooker Beef brisket Chili. I love meals that we can eat twice!

How do you make chili more flavorful?

If you make chili a lot like we do, make a big batch of homemade chili seasoning. It’s really easy to make and cheaper than store bought.

Plus, I love knowing exactly what is going in the seasoning. The flavor is amazing and better than store bought seasonings!

How long should you cook chili?

It just depends on if you need to cook the chili on low or high in your crock pot. Chili can be ready quickly on the high setting but if you will be gone all day, I recommend the low setting for more hours.

Can you put raw ground beef in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can. The meat can easily cook in the slow cooker with the other ingredients but I would use a lean meat so that it is not much grease.

Another option is the Ninja cooker. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker.

It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.

I also really like this crockpot as well.  I use this all the time and it’s great.

Should I drain beans for chili?

If you prefer a thicker chili, make sure the kidney beans drained prior to placing in the crockpot. If you like a soupy chili recipe, than don’t drain and rinse the beans for added broth.
