Easy Crock Pot Chili

It's Super Bowl Sunday! While I'm not a fan of either team that is playing tonight I am a fan of eating at the viewing party. Kick off is 6:30 PM EST which means it isn't too late to get this super easy, chili in the Crock Pot. There's a good chance you already have all of the ingredients you need. 

I've talked about this before, I take shortcuts in my cooking and baking and this chili recipe is no different. it requires minimal prep time and just a lot of dumping of things into the Crock Pot.

What You'll Need

*This is based off of 1 pound of meat. If you are cooking more than a pound of meat I suggest using two chili seasoning packets and then your discretion for extra beans or veggies.

1 Pound of Ground Beef
1 Packet of Chili Seasoning
1 Can of Red Kidney Beans
1 Can of Black Beans
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes 
​12 oz. of Marinara Sauce
1 Green Pepper (chopped)
1 Onion (chopped)

​Instructions 

Chop your veggies.

Open your cans of beans and drain them.

Then, take all of the ingredients and dump them into your Crock Pot.

​Set to low for 4-6 hours and THAT'S IT!

Substitutions

You can make this chili with chop meat, ground turkey, or without meat.

You can serve the chili over rice, pasta, cornbread or just by itself in a bowl.

I told you it was super easy. Depending on which seasoning packet you buy will depend on the spiciness of the chili and you can always add in your own favorite hot sauce. I like it on the lesser side of spicy so the hubby just adds Tabasco sauce to his bowl.
