Slow Cooker Bean Chili
If there is a big game coming up, you can count on me to do one thing; make chili! Chili is the perfect dish to feed a crowd and keep them coming back for more!

You can find Hurst’s 15 Bean Soupin the dry bean section of almost any grocery store (or you can order them online).
You don’t need a lot ofingredients to make a great chili, a few simplegood quality ingredients definitelymake themost delicious meals!
How to Make Chili in a Crock Pot
This easy slow cooker chili recipestarts with Hurst’s® HamBeens® 15 Bean Soup®,onions, bell pepper and lean ground beef. It’s all seasoned with a vegetable based seasoning packet (that comes with Hurst’s 15 Bean Soup) as well as chili seasoning and then simmered in the slow cooker until tender.
You’ll notice that the tomatoes are added towards the end of cooking, once the beans are softened. This step is important when using dry beans becausetomatoes (along with any other acidic ingredients) caninterfere with the rehydration process.
Fixings and Toppings
On game day, making a chili bar is a great way to add variety and make sure everyone can enjoy their chili to preference. I set myslow cooker
to warm and offer toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced jalapenos, chopped onions, assorted crackers and tortilla chips and corn bread muffins.
Easy and Delicious
This chili is both inexpensive and easy to prepare while being totally delicious!For a family dinner, it’s great servedovermacaroninoodles (or rice) andof course, with a big slice of homemade cornbread on the side! Should you be lucky enoughto have leftovers, this recipe reheats well and can even be frozen to enjoy on another day! (Cook once, eat twice.. count me in)!
