My family loves Chili-O chili. So I decided to make my life easier by making our favorite chili recipe in my crock pot this week.
This easy Crock Pot Chili recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious.
This chili recipe is a 4 ingredient crock pot recipe.
I serve my chili over a bed of rice, but you can serve yours in a bowl with crackers if chili and rice aren't you're thing.
I've been making this Chili-O chili for over 20 years.
It is the only chili my family will eat. They love it.
The ingredient list is short. All it has in it is ground beef, kidney beans, whole or diced tomatoes and the Chili-O seasoning packet.
Since making chili, is mostly dumping ingredients into a big pot and constantly stirring.
Throwing those same ingredients in the crock pot and letting them cook slowly makes perfect sense me.
Now our favorite chili recipe is an Easy Crock Pot Chili recipe.

- 1-28 oz. can peeled whole tomatoes or diced tomatoes
- 2-15 oz. cans dark kidney beans

Step 1: Place all the browned ground beef, envelopes of Chili-O, canned tomatoes with liquids, undrained kidney beans and water into a 6-quart crock pot and stir well.
Step 2: Cook on the slow cooker chili on high for 3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally.

Expert Recipe Tips
- Tomatoes: if some of the family does not like tomatoes you can use canned whole tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes. The large tomato pieces are easy to pick out. The tomatoes add so much to the flavor to the chili. Do not leave the tomatoes out.
- Onions and peppers: If you like onions and peppers in your chili you can sauté them in a skillet before you brown the ground beef. Add them to the crock pot with the browned ground beef.
- Freezing leftovers: My family loves this chili so much that I will doubled the recipe and freeze the leftovers for another meal.
