Expert Tips

Regular stewed tomatoes, along with some chopped onion and a dash of garlic powder or finely chopped fresh garlic, can be used in place of the flavored stewed tomatoes.

Lifting the lid of your slow cooker can add up to 20 minutes of cooking time. Instead, spin the lid to clear it of condensation so you can check the food.

For super-quick dinners and totable lunches, freeze the chili in single-serving freezer containers. Thaw, then heat in the microwave on High for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring once or twice, until hot.

try this recipe! I keep the chicken "rib" meat cuz I hate to throw away food - and had saved up enuf to make the full version of this recipe - unbelievably delicious! I didn't change the recipe at all - and didn't need to cut up the meat either - hubby teased me saying I was opening too many cans for a meal - but the ratio put forth in the recipe was good - we both went back for 2nds! altho' there is A LOT left over I know we will eat all of it - I am anxious to see how well it freezes - we did keep it on the mild side for the initial pot however next time may kick up the spice-heat - enjoy!

I made this last night and it was awesome! I'm not a chili fan, but this was excellent. I made it with turkey cutlet and added shredded cheese on top. Next time my husband wants me to try using ground turkey, I’m sure it will be great. Thanks for this awesome recipe :)
