Spicy Crockpot Chili Recipe

January 7, 2015 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Last month I made chili that ended up being my favorite batch so far. It was delicious, spicy, warm, and perfect for the cold day we were having. I usually never make chili the same way but I’ve gotten the basics down well enough that I wanted to share how I made this great batch of spicy chili.

This was seriously the best chili I’ve made in a while, possibly ever. I love making chili in the crockpot because the longer the chili cooks together the more the flavors blend and the better it tastes.

I was thrilled to have leftovers and even more excited that everyone who tried it loved it. I definitely plan to make this exact chili and again and again and again. There may be more recipe tweaking in the future and probably the addition of more vegetables when I’m eating it alone, but overall I’m very happy with this spicy chili!

My Crockpot

The crockpot I use for this chili and all crockpot recipes is the an oval Rival Crock-Pot. I believe it’s an older version of this Crock-Pot SCCPVP600-S 6-Quart Smart-Pot Oval Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel. Mine is a couple years older and really the only difference seems to be the handles.

crockpot for cooking low and slow

Why this slow cooker is awesome:

  • 6-quart capacity is perfect for 7 or more people or a 6-pound roast
  • Removable oval stoneware that is also stylish for your table
  • Easy-to-use programmable pre-set digital controls
  • Shifts to warm setting automatically once the cook time is complete
  • Dishwasher-safe stoneware and lids for easy clean-up

I’m pretty much in love with both my crockpot and the chili it helps me make. Making chili in the crockpot is my favorite and much preferred way since the slower it cooks the better it tastes. If you don’t have a crockpot, go get one now!

Happy slow chili cooking!
