Finding  an easy chili crock pot recipe is the key to a great crock pot chili. There are tons and tons of recipes available, but I use a recipe I just kind of made up. It’s super easy and that makes it a favorite in my book. As you make a few batches of crock pot chili you can experiment with the ingredients to come up with a fantastic chili crock pot recipe of your own.

Chili Crock Pot Recipe

What you need:

1 onion diced
a few cloves of garlic diced
1 lb ground meat ~ you can use beef or venison
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
2 14oz cans kidney beans
1 packet of chili seasoning

what you do:

1. Brown your meat with the onions and garlic.

2. Toss all the ingredients in the crock pot and stir well

3. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

I personally use venison most of the time in my chili crock pot recipes, and that’s only because we have it on hand. You can easily substitute hamburger. If you are really short on time you can even throw your ingredients in without browning the meat. In fact, if you are really short on time and forgot to defrost your meat you can throw it in frozen. Unless you are able to stir it and crush the meat up during the day you will not have crumbly meat in your chili, it will be bigger chunks ~ but it will still taste good.

This is an easy and tasty chili crock pot recipe that I make throughout the winter months when we need something warm and delicious for dinner. It smells great through the day. I like to make some corn bread to go with it. You can add whatever condiments you love on top. My husband has to have elbow macaroni ~ which I never quite understood. I personally enjoy a little dab of sour cream, and some red onions on the top. However you enjoy your chili this chili crock pot recipe will give you a great base to start experimenting with finding your own flavors.
