Prep Time
Preparing this chili crock pot recipe is surprisingly easy, and won’t take much time at all. You’ll need to brown the ground beef, along with some diced onions and garlic, in a skillet.

You can also use a pre-cooked beef, if you’d prefer.
Cook Time
Once the ingredients have all been added to the crock pot, the chili will need to cook for 6-8 hours, depending on your slow cooker’s settings. You can also cook this chili on the stovetop, but it will take much longer. The longer the chili cooks, the more flavorful and thick it will become.

Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes
If you’d like to make this chili spicier, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. You can also use ground turkey or chicken in place of the beef, if you’d prefer. For a vegetarian version, omit the beef and use 2 cans of beans instead.
