It always amazes me how quickly fall comes and turns into winter. One minute it’s t-shirt weather and the next we are pulling out our sweaters, toques and scarves. When the weather starts to change like this, I immediately start to think of heart slow cooker meals. Don’t you? If you like chill then you are sure to like this recipe, colder like this, it makes a BIG pot and will last you for a few days. Good hearty meals that bring warmth to the body and soul make these colder months much better, nothing beats going coming home to a hot bowl of good old chilli con carne.

You can prepare this chili in crock pot or on the stove top, depending on the time you have at hand. Today I am using my crock-pot, because I have errands to run this morning. So this will take me roughly 20 minutes to prep then I will set it in the slow cooker for 6 hours, and return to a meal fit for a queen or king. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
