Instructions
Chili
- On medium-high heat, brown the ground beef in a large saucepan. Once fully cooked, drain and add the cooked meat to your slow cooker.
- Drain the chili beans and add them to the meat in the crockpot.
- Add the tomato sauce to the meat and chili beans.
- Dice all the veggies and add them to the other items in the crock pot. To speed up chopping, I use this slicer.
- Add the remaining ingredients and homemade chili seasoning to the slow cooker and stir.
- Turn on the crock pot and set it to low. Cook for 4-8 hours.
- Fill bowls with chili and top with a dollop of sour cream, cheese, and green onions.
- Serve with a side of cornbread waffles.
Corn Bread Waffles
- 20 minutes before the chili is ready, mix up the cornbread mix.
- Heat the waffle iron to medium heat.
- Spray the iron on both sides with cooking spray.
- Pour about four tablespoons of the mix into the waffle iron and close.
- Cook for about two minutes per waffle or until golden brown. Makes about 10 waffles.
Notes
The chili will thin out a little as it cooks and the veggies start to give off some of their moisture.
