How to Make the Best Crockpot Chili
This recipe is super simple to make and it only takes about 10 minutes!
First, brown your ground beef in a hot skillet over medium high heat. (about 5 minutes). And it it to your crock pot.
Then add the rest of the ingredients to your crockpot: chopped onion, minced garlic, all the chopped peppers, canned tomatoes, beans, and spices. Give it a stir till well combined.
Adjust temperature on your crockpot to the high setting.
Let it cook 4-6 hours.. If you need it to cook longer thank 6 hours, use the low heat setting.
Just before serving, add jiffy cornbread mix and stir till thickened! (it’s the perfect thickener and sweetens it slightly!)
Garnish individual bowl with shredded cheese, chopped green onions or cilantro, sour cream, avocado and corn chips!
Serve with moist cornbread, and enjoy!
