I have made this many times since it is so amazingly simple. I enjoy preparing this for freezer dinners and sharing it with my friends who have recently had children. You can put all the ingredients in a freezer bag before or after cooking this dish and freeze it.

Reviews
This chili is amazing and the broth is flavorful
Sorry. I thought it was terrible. I added a TON of Cumin, Chili Powder, a little bit of cayenne pepper… and some garlic salt… because it had no flavor…
It was amazing and so easy to put together. Followed recipe for most part except I used only black beans, fresh jalapeño and longhorn peppers and Rotel diced tomatoes with jalapeños. Obviously we like heat but I found it gave just the right amount of heat and not overwhelming. Perfect dish for a cold winter night.
I loved it! My kids loved it too! I used kidney beans and garbanzo because that’s what I had. I also added tomato paste but kept everything else the same. Delicious!!
This is a pretty yummy recipe and only 1 WW point with some modifications. I left off the veg oil, not really necessary, and left off the sour cream, don’t really like it anyway. Will definitely make this again.
Enjoyed it
Family loved it
This recipe won the Chili cook off at my work out of 17 chilis ranging from traditional to vegan to chicken to vegetarian!
I read the reviews before making this and I did as several suggested and used chili mix plus increased the beans as others had done. Turned out perfect!
Used Rotel in place of the tomatoes.
I needed a quick, throw it together, slow cooker recipe today and came up with this gem. Every loved it, but I thought it was missing something. I noticed my boys adding salt, but I thought it was plenty salty and then it hit me… it needs acid! I grabbed a bottle of lime juice from the fridge and added a few drops to what remained in my bowl. BINGO! Everyone tried adding lime juice and agreed, it was even better. Of course, fresh lime juice would have been ideal, but I made do with what I had.
This is a wonderful, easy recipe. I did tweak it for our preferences by adding another can of untrained white beans, a can of Rotel and two ears of corn. Yummy!
Wow, I thought this was delicious! Minor changes – I used Rotel instead of just diced tomatoes. I also didn’t drain the white kidney beans. Upped chili powder to 2 Tbsp and cumin and paprika to 1 tsp. I used a generous sprinkle of hot sauce and pepper, and plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. This wasn’t spicy, which was fine with me. Topped with mozzarella cheese, this had a rich, creamy taste that I loved!
Bland. Too much broth, not enough flavor
This is truly the easiest recipe to follow. The only thing I did was add some white pepper. I always do that because it tends to bring out the flavors of the other spices. But it was easy and delicious. I will definitely make this again, and I recommmend you give it a try. I know the timing is kinda off, because if you’re a working mom or dad, you’d have to start this a noontime for it to be done at six. It doesn’t matter. Leave it in longer. The only thing that will happen is the flavors will meld together better. I usually don’t rinse my beans or my tomatoes, but I followed the recipe to a tee and did exactly that. It turned out great!
It was ok. I’m not sure I’ll make it again.
One of my all time favourites. Right ingredients, in right proportions.
This is a very good recipe…however I made a few adjustments….I doubled the amount of all the spices-because I like it HOT ??….I also used a can of chili-seasoned diced tomatoes-which I didn’t drain…I didn’t mix the sour cream in either-I feel it would be better on the side, or omitted altogether.
I used about 1/4 teaspoon chili powder and doubled all the other spices (as someone else suggested). It came out great. I’m not a huge fan of chili, but this was amazing. For my personal preferences, I sauteed the onion before putting it in the crockpot and used buillion with water instead of broth.
It’s really good but I found it to be salty. No explanation why. I use a low sodium broth and tomatoes. I am definitely going to make it again as it is so easy. I will omit the garlic powder and just add more garlic. Also perhaps caramelize the onions and keep them in bigger pieces.
Great idea just not executed right. Overall the recipe was pretty good, just didn’t have nearly enough flavor for my liking. And don’t add sour cream until the end, after it’s done cooking, otherwise it curdles.
