The Best Crockpot Chili
Look no further, this is the best crockpot chili! This will be your new favorite chili recipe, because it's so dang easy. You just "set it and forget it!" Well minus the chopping and the seasoning! It’s loaded with tons of spices and flavor, meat, beans, and veggies. The recipe is based off of our beef chili recipe which is a true crowd pleaser. We simplified it for the crockpot and now there is no need to cook haha. It’s one of those recipes that’s really so simple to make and warm and delicious for the cooler months, or even summer, if that floats your boat. The real key is in the spices, making it full of flavor. Typically, most recipes will call for sautéing the meat first for added flavor but we opted out due to life quite frankly. Anyways, it's super delicious and guaranteed to be your favorite easy chili recipe!
