Do you love Slow Cooker Chili as much as we do? Well then, you're in the right place! We've got an old recipe to share with you today and it's one of our all time favorite recipes. We've been making this for about 7 years now -- and as soon as the weather changes each year we break out the slow cooker and make it for our family.
There's only one problem... this recipe has got quite the kick to it. Like break out in a sweat but you don't really care because it's that good kind of kick. My husband loves it HOT. I like it semi-hot and our teenage daughter has to have a tall glass of milk when she eats this. So I wouldn't recommend feeding this to small children until you try it for yourself. I'd also recommend maybe starting with half of the spicy seasonings until you know that you can handle the heat.
To help with the heat I add sour cream, cheese and green onions. My hubby likes it plain, hot and spicy! Could we be any different, lol?

Good Stuff

I made this chili tonight but it was very very soupy. Is the amount of chicken stock correct?? I had to drain some of the juice because it was more like soup than chili? just wondering if the chicken stock was the correct amount. I have it back in the crockpot now trying to thicken it up a little. Flavor was good but just too soupy.
The Best Blog Recipes says
Hi Donna, yes... this is a super runny chili. If I remember I think I added that in the description. You could reduce the amount of chicken stock but then I think the seasonings might be too strong so you would want to put in a tad bit less of each.
