Slow Cooker Chili (Spicy)

Here is another Fall Favorite. Chili! I love Chili Season. You can make it so many different ways, but I like a more traditional chili. A lot of meat and veggies. And beans! I also like my chili to have a kick. So we make it spicy in our house. Cornbread is a great addition if a chili is too spicy for you.

My husband’s work is having a Chili Cook-off today and he really wanted to enter this year. So last night, I tossed everything in the slow cooker, turned it on LOW and went to bed. This morning, I turned it on HIGH, added the beans. And continued on with our morning. About 30 minutes later, I turned it to WARM until he was ready to head to work.

I have to say that waking up to the smell of chili was not a bad way to wake up.

Turn on HIGH Add beans… cook for 20-30 minutes.

Then turn to WARM until you’re ready…
