Ingredients for Slow-Cooker Chili

Even though there are quite a few ingredients in this keto crockpot chili, it’s super easy to make. Just measure, dump, and wait. The hardest part is browning the ground beef.

Here’s what you’ll need:

You’ll also need a good slow cooker. I’ve had several different brands in my life, and they all seem pretty equal. The main features to look for are the size and a timer.

I love my slow-cooker with a timer that can turn itself off after a certain amount of hours. A timer is great for cooking food while you’re at work. Also, make sure to get one big enough for your needs. It is definitely worth the extra money to have a crockpot that can cook a massive pot of chili.

New Mexico Peppers

These dried peppers are not very spicy, but they add a sweet, smoky flavor. I cut mine up into small pieces with my kitchen scissors before adding them. They will get soft while cooking in the crockpot.

Chile De Arbol

These dried peppers bring the heat. Add as many or as few as you want for spice in your chili. I like to add several to really crank up the flavor.

Tabasco and Jalapeño

Any peppers will be great for add-ins and extra spice. Jalapenos are usually very common, and tabasco peppers pack the heat for their small size. I found these at our local farmer’s market. They are definitely optional. Leave them out if you don’t want your chili extra spicy.

This recipe is crazy easy. The hardest part is measuring the ingredients. Once you dump them, stir occasionally and wait. The chili will turn out great in 6 hours. You may need to add more water as the chili cooks. Leave an eye on it just in case.

I love to serve this chili with plenty of cheddar cheese, and even these delicious crackers made with cheese. You keep your carb-count down while enjoying a “crunchy” cracker alternative.

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. Please check out some of my other recipes here.
