Homemade Chili

I made up this Chili recipe two years ago when we had a big family gathering. I haven't made it in awhile so I thought it was time to make it again. I forgot how yummy it was and easy to make! I used the original recipe that I had written down and it made a lot, so you can half the recipe if you don't want leftovers. I love having the left overs because I think it'll be good on top of a baked potato or on top of a salad to create a taco salad....... Plus, then I don't have to come up with two more meals!



Homemade Chili:

  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 2 Chili packs
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 29 oz cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 14 oz can kidney beans (I love beans so I think next time I'd use 2 cans)
  • 1 can black beans if desired 
  1. In a crock pot empty your canned goods.
  2. Cook your meat.
  3. Add onion and chili packs to your meat.
  4. Add all your meat to your crock pot and put on low.

I usually cook it for a couple of hours and then it's ready to serve! I top it with cheese and some sour cream, I also like to put tapatio (hot sauce) sauce in mine because I love spicy things. I think it would be great with some raw onion on top!

I love crock pot meals, you don't have to tend to them and they seem to taste better when they sit and cook.

Enjoy it!
Until next time, Cindy

Greg and I love chili! But the kids hate it. Hannah hates beans and thinks it is too spicy. Caleb is picky on his spicy things (he'll put tapatio on his burritos) but won't eat chili "cuz it's too spicy." But I still make small pots of it and make them eat what we have instead of being a short order cook. I'll have to try your recipe. I like using black and kidney beans.

I made this for dinner tonight and we all loved it. Ellie thought it was a little too spicy (even though I only used one chili pack), but got over it when we let her have more crackers with it. We're looking forward to leftovers tomorrow night!
