Chili in the Crockpot – Easy and Delicious!

Looking for an easy crock pot recipe for this weekend or next?   I have just the one… Crockpot Chili.  Perfect for cold weather weekends and for Super Bowl parties.  I know I’ve shared this before recently, but it really is so easy and delicious that I couldn’t resist sharing it again – especially since Super Bowl Sunday is on its way.  {I don’t mean to mislead anyone… It sounds like I’m a big Super Bowl fan… I’m really more a fan of the fellowship, food, and the great coupons and recipes in the Sunday papers around that time. Grin.}

4 cans of stewed tomatoes

2 cans of diced tomatoes

(EDITED TO ADD – I don’t often do this, but you certainly can add 1-2 cans of chili beans or kidney beans)

1 can of Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)

2 -3 pkg. Chili seasoning (depending upon how spicy you like it)

Cook on low for at least 4-6 hours, or all night, or all day… whatever works for you (see why it’s easy???).

Serve with grated cheese and sour cream on top. Sometimes, we also top it with Fritos and chopped green onions.

[Growing up, Mom always served chili with saltine crackers topped with a mixture of peanut butter and white Karo syrup. Might sound strange, but it’s really good!]

And IF you have any leftovers, here are a few ideas:

Chili dogs, of course, loaded with cheese, mustard, onions, relish…
or

Chili topped baked potatoes, loaded with cheese, sour cream, onions…

or

Chili Pie  – Place leftover chili in a baking dish.  Cover with cheese.  Mix one or two boxes of Jiffy Cornbread mix and smooth on top.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, covering with foil after 20 minutes.  This was a big hit with the family.  Serve with a dolop of sour cream, and a side salad.  🙂

Hope you enjoy!

Have a great weekend~
