Instructions

  2. Add the chopped onion, rinsed beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, green chilies, and beef broth to the slow cooker.
  3. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper over the mixture. Add salt and pepper.
  4. Stir all ingredients together in the slow cooker until they are well combined.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. Stir the chili before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  7. Serve your crockpot chili hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking time on the HIGH setting.
  • This recipe freezes well; portion leftovers into freezer-safe containers for future easy meals.
  • If you prefer a pure beef crockpot chili, substitute the turkey with another pound of ground beef.
  • If you want a turkey chili slow cooker version only, use 2 pounds of ground turkey instead of a mix.
