How to Make Chili in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

We received an email from Julie with this yummy Slow Cooker Chili recipe. I am so glad she sent it to us! (Thanks Julie!) We just so happened to be going over to hang out with friends the day I threw this in the crock pot. (Hi Krystal and Henry!) They were preparing a bunch of food, but this was still a gobbled up and loved by all!

Ingredients Needed

  • 1.5-2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 15.5 oz cans Brooks chili beans, with juice
  • 16 oz can refried beans
  • 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 32-46 oz tomato juice (depending on how soupy you want it)
  • salt to taste
  • dried red pepper flakes to taste

How to Make Chili in a Slow Cooker

  1. Brown your ground beef with your onion and drain
  2. Put all your ingredients in your 6-quart slow cooker (I used my Programmable Travel Crock Pot) and stir until well combined
  3. Cover and cook on low for four hours

Slow Cooker Chili Notes

  • If you want to make your chili spicy, you can use Brooks hot chili beans and lots of dried red pepper flakes. If you are not a fan of spicy foods, you can totally use mild beans and just a sprinkle of dried red pepper flakes.
  • As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Hi Julie! , Boy, this chili looks yummy! I’ll be trying it real soon! Refried beans? Never thought of that before! One question: Can I find ‘Brook beans’ in Madison, Ohio (or) does it make a difference in taste using another brand? Sincerely, Sherry

    I would never have thought about using refried beans in chili but it sounds like a great idea. Can’t wait to try this.
