Today I’m going to focus on a standard traditional chili recipe.
Can you put raw ground beef in the slow cooker?
Raw ground beef can be placed into a slow cooker and cooked, and there are also some slow cookers that even have a function specifically to cook the ground beef.
In the case of this particular recipe, we will be browning the ground beef prior to adding it into the slow cooker.
Can you prep the slow cooker chili the night before?
This recipe can be prepared the night before in the slow cooker, then in the morning just set it and forget it! This is how I typically make these slow cooker recipes.
I rarely have time in the morning to get the slow cooker, so having slow cooker meals I can prep the night before and leave in the fridge, then place on the slow cooker in the morning is a must!
How long do you cook Slow Cooker Chili?
This chili will be done at 4 hours because you are essentially warming up already cooked ingredients; however, it can be left on the slow cooker for up to 8 hours.
We typically leave it on 8 hours since that’s generally how long we would be gone during the day when preparing this recipe.
This Slow Cooker Chili uses pantry-style ingredients plus the addition of meat to make a great easy chili recipe!

this was delicious! thanks for posting!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I have always LOVED my moms chili. I would beg her at least once a week to make it. I thought I would try this just to change it up… BIG MISTAKE!! Why? Because this was SOOOO GOOD I cannot eat my moms anymore. It is so bland…
You scared me at first!! LOL! I’m so glad you like it! You should try the pumpkin chili too it’s really good, not what you would think when you think of ‘pumpkin’ in chili. 🙂
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your
blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
May I just say what a comfort to discover a person that really understands what they’re talking about on the web. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people need to read this and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you are not more popular given that you certainly possess the
gift.
I like reading an article that can make people think.
Also, thanks for allowing for me to comment!
This looks delicious! I love trying new recipes for chili, and slow cooker recipes are always welcome.
Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!
