Slow-Cooked Chili

This is just like the chili I make only I use canned pinto beans (Bush's) and also add cumin and cayenne pepper. The ground beef is chuck which produces more grease (drained in a colander)but also much more flavor. I use a cast iron dutch oven and the "fond" made by the browned ground chuck is terrific, once the liquid goes in! Maybe Jay is a bit too finicky about his chili, jrgh17. This is good stuff.

There is some awesome recipes on here but this is not one of them. I did not care for this.

Great base for a recipe, but not enough liquid from the ingredients listed. I added a couple of teaspoons of cayenne pepper and a can of tomato sauce. Also substituted ground turkey for the beef. After that, it turned out pretty good!

This was my first time using my slow cooker and making chilli! I made a few changes just to my personal preference. I only used half a green pepper and half a red pepper, garlic powder instead of cloves, I used one can of sliced mushrooms and I added a small can of tomato paste. It is still currently in the slow cooker but I have tasted a bit and it's already amazing!

This is just like a recipe that came with a list of recipes from my slow cooker! You do need to modify though, I use 2 cans of the 28 oz Tomatoes and 3 Tbsp of the Chili Powder. I add 1 - 2 Tsp Cumin, a Tbsp of pickle juice, and a pickle. You really can go as wild or as tame as your want adding additional flavors spices etc. Great base chili recipe and it is what I have always use!

I did not care for this recipe. For one thing, this needs WAY more liquid. The juice from two cans of diced tomatoes is not nearly enough! I was quite disappointed that there was nothing to dip my bread bowl top into. :( Flavor-wise, this was "OK," but my hubs and I agree that we've had much better. Thanks anyways, jrgh17.

This is exactly how my dad taught me 45 yrs ago, minus the peppers. I may try peppers next time.

Have used this recipe many times now. Since my first try with it I use it as a base recipe and have added different veggies and spices, making notes along the way. Overall has a very good taste and is not too spicy, which is good for the whole family. My 2 year old loves the flavours.

Very easy and very tasty. The family really enjoyed this.

Tasty easy recipe but made modifications based on others' feedback and also my own taste. I added a small can of tomato sauce since I had it and other reviewers mentioned that the recipe was dry and had no extra sauce. It turned out nice and saucy as a result. Good for dipping bread in. I also added a couple teaspoons diced pickled jalapeños for some kick. I used dried white kidney beans. I soaked them overnight with a tablespoon baking soda like someone suggested elsewhere on the interwebs. But after 8 hours cooking time the beans still weren't completely done. Some of them were soft but most weren't. Next time I use dried beans I'll try another method of soaking. Otherwise it was an easy tasty recipe.

Made this chili recipe and found it very tasty. The 2 pounds of ground beef was perfect for the amount of beans and the peppers made it perfect. I did top it with sour cream and sharp cheddar...yummy. Thanks for sharing.

This was a great base for slow-cooked chili and easy enough to modify. Once we got to the last hour in the slow-cooker we tasted it to see how things were progressing. We wound up added more of everything (salt, garlic, chili powder, pepper) plus a healthy splash of hot sauce. Topped it with shredded Gruyere. We will definitely make this again.

I never liked chili much before trying this recipe but it has become a household favorite. My husband has even admitted it's better than his mother's! We enjoy it with cornbread or cheddar bay biscuits.

I made this recipe but added sausage. My boyfriend loved it

My very 1st review. Made this yesterday. I'm not much of a cook so, slow cookers are a GOOD thing. Turned out pretty good. I did add a couple of things not in the original recipe, ie: 1 stalk of celery (chopped coarse) and a small can of tomato sauce as other reviewers stated it might not have enough liquid and just a touch of cayenne. All in all, I enjoyed it, although it doesn't make 10 servings.

I used minced garlic in a jar instead of cloves but this is still delicious thank you for putting this up this recipe
