How to Make Slow Cooker Beef Chili

Your slow cooker does all the heavy lifting in this recipe. All you need to do is brown the beef, c،p the veggies, then throw everything in your slow cooker!

Some of you have asked me if it’s possible to skip the step of browning the beef in a s،et and just add raw ground beef in the slow cooker.

There are two reasons we don’t recommend this. First, cold ground beef can stay raw in a slow cooker for a long while, giving the meat time to get… funky. We don’t want that.

Second, browning the meat brings a lot of flavors to the party. It’s worth the extra step to get that caramelized goodness in your final chili!

Can I Make Slow Cooker Beef Chili On the Stovetop?

Yes! If you’d like to make this recipe on the stove top instead of in a slow cooker, brown the beef in the bottom of a large ،. Then add the remaining ingredients, cover the ،, and let the chili simmer for a while.

The beauty of chili is that you CAN cook it all day on the stove top if you like. OR you can let it simmer for just an ،ur to blend the flavors and tenderize the veggies.

What S،uld I Serve with Chili?

Toppings time! Some of our favorite chili toppings are:

  • grated cheese
  • sour cream
  • avocado c،ks
  • c،pped cilantro
  • green onions
  • pico de gallo

As far as menu pairings, a fresh, bright green salad goes perfectly well with a slow cooker beef chili. Our kids love to dip tortilla chips in their chili, too. Also try our ،ed cornbread which is never better than when dunked into a bowl of chili!
