Christy's Crock Pot Chili

Why did I come up with Crock Pot Chili by Christy? Well, any southerner worth their salt has a great chili recipe, preferably a signature one. This is why I set out several years back trying out this one and that, tweaking and adding until I came up with one I could call my own.

Prepare Your Meat Ahead of Time

I’ve tweaked it slightly over the years for my personal taste and for this tutorial I am making it in the crock pot for all of you. This prevents anyone from having to stand over the stove and fret over it while it simmers and the flavor develops fully. If you brown and freeze your meat ahead of time (like I do), this becomes a “toss it in and turn it on” recipe that will make it great for a quick and easy meal!

How to Make Crock Pot Chili

Chop the onion….I used my brand new food processor 🙂

Now, dump all canned items, liquid and all, into crock pot.

(If you have small kids, just put half the can of chilies in until you make sure they aren’t too hot. Normally they are very mild whenever I get Wal Mart brand, but I got these from another grocery store and they were uncharacteristically hot! That is the first time this has ever happened and I’ve been making this chili for years. I’ll stick with Wal Mart’s brand of chopped green chilies from now on!)

 Food Safety Tip from the USDA

“Never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours. If the temperature is above 90 °F, food should not be left out more than 1 hour.

  • Keep hot food hot—at or above 140 °F. Place cooked food in chafing dishes, preheated steam tables, warming trays, and/or slow cookers.
  • Keep cold food cold—at or below 40 °F. Place food in containers on ice.

Basically, food can be kept at room temp safely for two hours but should be refrigerated or frozen after that in order to avoid food safety issues.
