This Crockpot or Slow Cooker Chili is going to change your life. It is so simple to make, smells absolutely amazing all day long as it cooks, and is so easy. You will love this simple Chili recipe.
Although I hated chili growing up, I LOVE this Mom’s Crockpot Chili Recipe.
It is so good and perfect for fall and winter. Every year on Halloween since I can remember, my mom would make this Crockpot Chili. We couldn’t go trick or treating until our entire bowl was gone.
When I was younger, I didn’t always love it (mostly because I was so eager to fill up on candy), but now that I am grown up, it has got to be one of my favorite dinners.
It is so easy to make and tastes absolutely amazing. It only takes a few minutes to throw together, and you can leave it cooking in your Crockpot or Slow Cooker the rest of the day.
What to serve with Mom’s Crockpot Chili?
I love soup, but I also love the side dishes, and bread that we serve with soup. If you need a few ideas of what to serve this soup with, here is what we recommend:
- Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread: We love this bread. It is exactly what it says it is, EASY. It is delicious.
- 30 Minute Dinner Rolls: These rolls are so fast, and practically fail proof. Spread a little butter on them, and get dipping them in your soup.
- Italian Fresh Green Salad:This fresh Italian salad, makes the perfect side dish and is so simple to throw together.
- Sweet Cornbread: Nothing warms the soul better than some soup and corn bread. You will love this home style combination and all the amazing flavor.
Really any bread or soup pairing would be perfect for this recipe. It’s simple, delicious, and they both taste great with a hearty soup, such as this one.
How can I make this Chili more spicy?
My husband is a huge fan of spicy food. Myself, on the other hand, isn’t quite as big as a spicy food fan. This Slow Cooker Chili is so easy to make and tastes absolutely amazing, but my husband prefers a little kick to it.
Here is what we recommend adding:
- Chopped jalapeño (you could also use canned).
- Cumin or cayenne pepper
- Red pepper flakes

Do you drain the diced tomatoes and or kidney beans??
-
Cyd says:
Do not drain the tomatoes - that is part of your liquid. Drain the kidney beans. I even rinse them off in the can and drain again.

Chrissy says:
This is a great base recipe for chili, just needs lots more seasonings! I like to add lots of garlic, some hot Mexican chili powder, a bit of salt, and cayenne pepper! Perfecto :)

You can definitely leave out the celery!
