Slow Cooker Chili

There are many things I love in our kitchen, but the slow cooker is near the top of my list of favorites. And every time I use it, I always wonder why I don’t use it more.

This easy slow cooker chili is the latest recipe to come from it.
Most slow cooker chili recipes call for cooking the vegetables and meat on the stove-top first then transferring it to a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients. But since I really didn’t feel like standing over a pan and stirring, I simplified the prep by roasting the vegetables rather than browning them in pan. And I skipped browning the meat for throwing it all in at once.

I’m happy to report, the flavor–it was all there! The best part of all this chili other than being spot on–the recipe makes a hearty size, so eat up! Or save the leftovers, because I’ve got some fun ideas coming that pair well with this chili.
