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

Need to make that ASAP! I really haven’t cooked much with red meat besides ground beef and ground sausage (but i love it!), you are inspiring me to step out of the box.
Leigh Anne says
I don’t cook with a lot of red meat either but I love using the roast in chili rather than hamburger!

What an awesome scrubber to have on hand! And what an even more awesome looking chili! We love chili on a cold winter day, so I will have to give this one a try!!!
Leigh Anne says
Thanks Jocelyn. I’m loving my little scrubber.
Deborah says
Ok, I love that you serve chili over rice. I have never done that before!! And I have been using one of those cleaners for years. Can’t live without it!!
Jackie Freeman says
I drop an SOS pad in the crockpot filled with hot water. It will easily wipe clean without any scrubbing.
Maria says
