You are going to love this Slow Cooker Chilli because it is a super easy thick chilli recipe made with beef, vegetables, tomato soup, and spices then slow-cooked in a crockpot. It is an easy dump and go recipe.

I am expanding the menu on the blog and adding a great dinner recipe. This is an easy chilli recipe to put in the slow cooker and it will be ready for you when you come home for supper. You can easily double the recipe if need be. Let the appetizing aroma of its ingredients entice you throughout the day or when you get home for supper.

The difference between cooking and baking is that cooking is an art and baking is a science. You need the right measurements for everything to go smoothly and turn out when you’re baking, but when you’re cooking you can be a lot more lenient with how you cook. You can add more of this and less of that, you can also add or omit more in a recipe and it will usually still turn out.

Even though baking is my absolute favourite and I much prefer it overcooking, I like the fact that I can alter a recipe to fit my family tastes and needs more when cooking. In this chilli recipe, it is easy to alter the amount of spice you put into it. If you like hot then you can add cayenne pepper, however, if you like it milder or you have kids you can definitely leave out cayenne and put less spice.

I love using the slow cooker because I don’t have to worry about cooking later or I just need to cook up a side dish rather than a whole meal.  It’s especially great as the summer months creep in because it won’t heat up your house as a stove will. I believe everyone should have a slow cooker in their home and it makes a great gift for a wedding or for kids moving out of the house.

Slow Cooker Chilli Instructions

Start out by prepping your vegetables. Mince up 1/2 yellow onion and 2 garlic cloves. When I don’t have garlic or onion in the house I just add onion and garlic powder instead, about 1/4 tsp of each.

Brown 1 lb of ground beef with your garlic and onion until no longer pink. Drain and place into slow cooker.

Add 1 can(284 ml) of condensed tomato soup, 1 can(14 oz) of brown beans in tomato sauce, 1 can of corn niblets, 1/2 can(15 oz) of kidney beans rinsed and drained, and 1/2 cup of broth(beef, chicken, or vegetable). Add 2 tbsp of chilli powder, and 1 tsp each of salt, cumin, and oregano. If you like your chilli hot you could also add 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.

Tidbit: Beans freeze really well, if you have no use for the other half can of kidney beans place them in a freezer-safe container or bag until you are ready to use them. After making this recipe you’ll be wanting to make it again in no time!

Combine all the ingredients until evenly mixed together. Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 2 1/2 hours. Now let the appetizing aroma entice you throughout the day or when you get home for supper.

Serve in bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and/or green onions if desired. Tastes delicious with buttered bread. Make this asap and you’ll be glad you did 🙂

On a side note, I had a hard time figuring out if chilli is spelled chilli or chili. It seems people spell it both ways depending on where they’re from. Do you spell it chilli or chili ? Let me know in the comments below!
