Slow Cooker Beef Chili

A recipe that has “easy” and “slow cooker” in its title should rise to the top of your list. Especially during the winter months when the wind chill is enough to make you crave any meal that requires basting or simmering all day long.

Who doesn’t want something warm and hearty for dinner— with lots of leftovers?

Beef Chili is a lay up for your dinner rotation because you don’t need to do much cooking at all. Simply sauté the beef in a skillet with the vegetables and let your slow cooker do the rest.   Over the next few hours in the cooker, the beef, tomatoes and spices develop into thick, beefy flavors.

I always add a finishing touch by serving the chili in sourdough bread bowls. As my 9-year old says, it makes the dish feel like it’s a “VIP” dish.

Top off your chili with any mixture of sour cream, scallions and shredded cheddar cheese and your personal status will elevate to HERO!

Remember: the longer the chili sits, the more robust the flavors. You can make it up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate it in an airtight container. Afterwards, you can freeze it for up to 1 month.

Enjoy….
