I love chili. The combination of meat, beans, vegetables, and spices makes the most wonderful, homey, comforting meal. And the best thing about chili is that you can add just about anything to it and it will still be delicious! So have fun varying any of these recipes. Chili is also a fabulous idea when your family members are in and out of the house around dinnertime. It reheats beautifully, and if you're making your chili in the crockpot, it can cook away happily on low for hours without any harm. Make some chili soon!
1. Four Bean Chili
Linda Larsen
This fabulous recipe is so full of flavor. It has the most wonderful texture too - all because of that magical fourth bean!
2. Classic Crockpot Chili
Linda Larsen
This recipe is classic! It has just the right combination of meat, beans, onions, garlic, and spices for me. If you like it hot, just add more! And I love to serve it with Cheese Crackers. Yum.
3. Crockpot Wild Rice Meatball Chili
Linda Larsen
I love the addition of wild rice in this delicious chili recipe. It adds a wonderful nutty flavor along with lots of fiber! If you can find the fabulous Wild Rice Meatballs by No Name brand, use them in this chili. Otherwise, regular meatballs are just fine. Or you could make your own Wild Rice Meatballs and use them!
4. Wild Rice Chili
Linda Larsen
This delicious recipe also uses wild rice, but uses ground beef as the meat. You can make this chili as thick or thin as you'd like. It would also be delicious using ground chicken or turkey.
5. Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chili
Linda Larsen
This super easy chili recipe uses TVP crumbles in place of beef. If you've never tried these before (Morningstar is one brand), do! The texture is just like ground beef in this delicious chili recipe.
6. White Bean Chicken Chili
Linda Larsen
White chili recipe use no tomatoes, but green vegetables like peppers and green salsa. Hmmm, perhaps they should be called 'green chili'. Oh well - either way, this recipe is easy and delicious!
7. Quick Meatloaf Chili
Linda Larsen
Leftover meatloaf is the secret ingredient in this fabulous chili recipe. Who would ever guess that meatloaf is in this recipe?
8. Crockpot Black Bean Chili
Red peppers, chopped chiles, oregano, and thyme add flavor to this easy chili recipe. Black beans are delicious in chili - I prefer them over kidney beans. Although I'll happily eat any kind of bean any day!
