Crock Pot Chili

October 31, 2022

Happy Halloween!! It wouldn't be Halloween without a big pot of chili simmering in the crock pot. It's perfect to have before and after trick or treating! We love it!

When I cook ground beef, I always cook several pounds at one time. Then I freeze the cooked ground beef in 1 pound ziploc bags. Doing this makes throwing together dinner in the crock pot a breeze. It is a perfect crisp fall day here. So I loaded up my crock pot with all of the ingredients for chili and put the frozen, cooked ground beef on top to make the easiest dinner ever!

Chili is a perfect dinner for a fall night like this!

1. Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, onions and garlic to your slow cooker.

2. Add the salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika and cumin to the tomatoes and beans and stir.

3. Place the frozen, cooked ground beef on top and place the lid on the slow cooker.

4. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

After cooking all day, it's ready and so delicious...
