EASY CROCK POT CHILI

Easy Crock Pot Chili image

My latest chili recipe - I've found it tastes best if made the day before. Adjust the heat by using hot, medium or mild picante sauce and taco seasoning (I use hot for both). Red pepper flakes are optional, but I like it hot and use 2 teaspoons.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef, cooked and drained
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) jar picante sauce (mild, medium or hot)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning (mild, medium or hot)
2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, in sauce
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, undrained
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2-2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

Mix all ingredients in Crock Pot.
Cover; cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
Note: To make on stovetop, mix all ingredients in a big soup pot; cover and simmer for about an hour or so.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients, especially the chili powder and cumin. Freshly ground spices will give your chili the best flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chili peppers. Poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, and serrano peppers are all great options for adding heat and flavor to your chili.
Cook your chili low and slow for the best flavor. This will allow the flavors to meld and deepen over time.
Don't overcrowd your crock pot. If you're using a 6-quart crock pot, don't add more than 4 pounds of meat and vegetables. Otherwise, your chili will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
Taste your chili as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt to taste.
Serve your chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or chopped cilantro.
