Slow Cooker Chili is perfect for game day or any day! A quick and easy meal that is filling and satisfying.
One thing came through loud and clear when I asked you what you wanted to see more of here on the blog – Slow Cooker recipes! My aim is to please so we are going to kick off the new year with a slow cooker recipe. Tonight we are having some friends over for dinner and games and this slow cooker chili is on the menu.
As I have told you before I was slow to embrace the slow cooker but this past year I have totally learned to love it and I can’t wait to use it even more in 2014 and share those recipes with you.
How to Make Slow Cooker Chili
Most of the ingredients for this chili are probably already on your pantry shelf. If you would like help in putting together your pantry check out my post on Pantry Staples.
- Cut up your meat into one inch pieces. I used chuck roast but you could also use stew meat.
- Sprinkle meat with salt, pepper and chili powder.
- Put meat along with your beans and tomato paste into the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 8 hours.
How to Serve Chili
Our favorite way is to serve it over rice but try some of these other combinations.
- Rice
- Skillet Cornbread
- Sweet Potato Fries
- Baked Potato
- Homemade Biscuits
What To Put on Top of Chili
- Fresh Avocado
- Cheddar Cheese
- Onion
- Fritos
- Sour Cream
- Cilantro

The liners are “Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners”. I use them all the time. The stores usually have them by the Reynolds oven bags for turkey’s, etc. Saves on all the scrubbing. I have one of those Scotch Brite Dishwands, too, and they are also very useful for cleaning.

I just spray my crockpot with PAM or any brand, like the
Costco brand, and it makes cleaning much easier!
Never seems to effect taste or the food either!

Also a really neat trick is to put a drying sheet (like Bounce, for example) into your crockpot and fill it up with water and let it sit. All of the residue will clean right up beautifully with a sponge. Works like magic 🙂

I have never heard that trick before! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much for sharing

There are bags you can buy now that you put in your slow cooker before you add the ingredients. Even easier. Don’t know tha brand but several friends have used it.
Leigh Anne says
Trisa – will have to look for those!
