Red's Slow Cooker Chili


Because snow or any kind of cold weather means CROCKPOT DINNER! Duh! And I am all about the slow cooker, what busy momma isn’t? I am also a lover of CHILI! And you will be a lover of this recipe! I’ve been through a few different chili recipes before I found the PERFECT COMBO! You see, my sad truth is that I am even too busy (or impatient) to measure out a ton of different spices. It drives me bonkers and I just want to dump a bunch of stuff in there and go. DILEMMA. I needed a way to get all kinds of flavor without all kinds of spices and junk to add! 

That’s what this recipe is. Dump everything in and go! Here is it AMAZING CHILI, 10 ingredients including spices. 

What you need:
1 pound ground beef, turkey, or chicken
1 onion
1 green pepper
1 16 ounce jar Pace Picante Sauce
1 can tomato and green chilies
1 can corn, drained (optional)
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
½ tsp. cumin

What you do:
1. Dice up the onion and green pepper, brown in a pan with the pound for meat. Add salt & pepper as necessary. Once cooked, dump in crock pot. 
2. Add all other ingredients to crock pot, stir/combine. Cook on low for 3.5 hours

The salsa and tomato/green chilies is really where it’s at. That’s a ton of flavor and it makes the chili. If you like it spicy than get the medium salsa if you don’t want it quite so spicy go with the mild. You will love it either way. To make it even easier, you can cook the veggies and meat the night before and then just throw them in the slow cooker with everything else the next morning.
