Recently, I participated in a Virtual Chili Cook-Off  and this white bean chicken chili topped with avocado and cilantro was my entry. It’s delicious but today we are talking about slow cooker red chili. It’s the chili I make most often.

Also, Meal Plan Monday is making a comeback. I’ll share my weekly menu with you and feature some of our favorite recipes made in the slow cooker or Instant Pot.

Slow Cooker Chili Served 3 Ways

The proper spice combination is required for any chili and I use chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, fresh garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Sometimes I will throw in a small can of Chipotle Sauce for an added smoky flavor and a little extra kick.

In this house we all have our favorite way to eat chili and setting up a chili bar is a fun way to try new things.

  • Fritos (aka corn chips) or any tortilla chip will do
  • Saltine crackers or oyster crackers
  • Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
  • Shredded cheese {cheddar, pepper jack, chipotle cheddar, white cheddar}
  • Onions {green or white}
  • Hot Sauce
  • French Fries (chili cheese fries)
  • Hot dogs (chili cheese dogs)

As you can see, you are only limited by your imagination (and the ingredients you have available in your fridge) when it comes to making a fun chili bar. Below are the 3 most popular ways to eat slow cooker chili in my house.

    Yummy, I need to make your version. I love having them with chips and cheese and, well, all the toppings! Easy meals are a requirement when you’re on the road.

    I can’t wait to see how you transform and update your Glamper!
