This chili recipe crockpot style needs just 5 ingredients and cooks itself while you get on with your day. It's an easy slow cooker dinner and a true set-it-and-forget-it crockpot meal — dump it in, walk away, and come home to a hearty, cozy bowl of chili.
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 6 hours on low (or 3 hours on high) | Total time: 6 hours 10 minutes | Serves: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey), browned and drained
- 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 packet (1.25 oz) chili seasoning mix
- 1 cup frozen corn
Optional: salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions:
1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any fat.
2. Add the browned beef, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili seasoning, and frozen corn to the slow cooker.
3. Stir everything together until well combined.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
5. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced green onions.
Tips:
- Skip the browning step if you're short on time — the beef will cook through in the slow cooker, just break it up well first.
- Make a double batch and freeze half in individual portions for up to 3 months.
- Add a can of black beans or a diced bell pepper if you want to stretch it further — it still stays simple.
