Slow Cooker Chili

This slow cooker chili is a go-to recipe that I love so much I make it once a week!

I kind of feel bad that I haven’t shared this recipe sooner, as it’s literally one of my go-to, make every week recipes. But everything is okay now – here it is! Maybe it will be your go-to recipe too!? The main reason that I go back to this again and again is that it’s sooo easy, so filling, and and obviously delicious. I love it when it’s fresh out of the slow cooker and I love it leftover for lunches.

I like to cook ground beef in big batches and freeze it, so that when it’s time to make chili, I just throw it in the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer!

The flavors are awesome with this and it is fun to add your favorite toppings, but it’s so good on it’s own that sometimes I skip the cheese and just eat the chili straight up! That’s when you know it’s real love.

Also, if you want to make this more healthy you can swap out the ground beef for ground turkey and then it’s a pretty clean dish! I am not kidding when I tell you I make a big batch of this when I want to lose a few pounds and just eat this for lunch instead of, you know, carbs with cheese and IT TOTALLY WORKS. No, I’m not claiming it’s some miracle fat-burning chili. It’s just that replacing another meal with a super low-carb one that also fills you up and tastes amazing – it’s a no brainer!

I hope you’ll try this one. I really can’t give it enough rave reviews.
