Serve Up Some Chili! Serve in bowls with your favorite chili toppings. Truthfully, I’ll take chili just about any way I can get it. It’s classic comfort food. I have a lot of chili recipes on the site, as I love to make it many different ways, with different choices of meats, different beans or no beans at all, different seasonings, and certainly different chili peppers. This particular recipe is an easy one, with lots of ground meat, onion, garlic, chilies, beans, fire roasted tomatoes, and lots of seasonings. It’s easy because we’re tossing everything into the crock pot to cook low and slow, which develops a powerful depth of flavor to your chili. Feel free to change up the ground meats, or use a combination. Use different beans and spices. Try it my way first, then update as you with. We really love this recipe, and now it’s yours! Let’s talk about how to make crockpot chili, shall we? Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring. NOTE: You can skip the above steps and just dump everything into the crockpot if you’d like, but browning the beef or turkey and cooking the vegetables this way develops more flavor in the final pot of chili. I definitely recommend it. You can adjust the cooking time to simmer longer to develop more flavor. Boom! Done! Crockpot chili is so easy to make, isn’t it? Everything gets dumped into the slow cooker and off you go. The hard part is the waiting and choosing your favorite toppings! I hope your family loves this recipe as much as we do. What are your favorite chili toppings? I’d love to hear.
Roasted Jalapeno Peppers. I love the flavor of sliced roasted jalapenos. Fresh slices are great, too! Or both! Hot Sauce. Dash on some of your favorite hot sauce. You really can’t go wrong with hot sauce. Don’t forget it! Red Chili Flakes. Bring on some heat for me! Tortilla Chips. I serve them on the side so I can scoop up some chili and get a nice crunchy bite. Addictive for sure. Mexican Crema. Sour cream is good, for when you make your chili a little too spicy. Oops! Is this even possible? Fresh Herbs. I often use chopped parsley or cilantro, for a touch of freshness. Lime Wedges. For squeezing a bit of lime juice over your chili. Adds a nice citrus pop. Avocado. You’ll be surprised at the flavor avocado brings to your chili as a topping.
That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my easy crockpot chili recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you. Keep it spicy!
