Ingredients
Meat
When it comes to making southern chili, the type of meat you use is crucial. Traditionally, chili is made with ground beef, but you can also use other meats such as ground turkey, chicken, or even chunks of beef or pork. For a healthier option, you can also use lean meats like ground turkey or chicken breast.
Beans
The most common type of beans used in southern chili are kidney beans. However, you can also use other types of beans such as black beans, pinto beans, or even a combination of different beans. Don't be afraid to experiment and find your favorite bean combination.
Spices
The key to a flavorful southern chili is the right combination of spices. The main spices used in this recipe are chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, or oregano for an extra kick of flavor.
Instructions
Brown the Meat
Start by browning the meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. This step is important as it helps to develop the flavor of the meat and adds a nice texture to the chili.
Prepare the Crockpot
While the meat is browning, you can prepare your crockpot by spraying it with cooking spray. This will prevent the chili from sticking to the sides and make clean-up easier.
Add the Ingredients to the Crockpot
Once the meat is browned, add it to the crockpot, followed by the beans and spices. Give it a good stir to make sure everything is well combined.
Cook on Low for 6-8 Hours
Set your crockpot to low heat and let the chili cook for 6-8 hours. This slow cooking process allows all the flavors to mingle and creates a rich and hearty chili.
Adjust Seasonings
Before serving, give the chili a taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you want it spicier, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder chili, add a bit more tomato sauce or diced tomatoes.
In Conclusion
There you have it, a delicious and easy southern chili recipe that you can make in your crockpot. Serve it with some cornbread or over a bed of rice for a complete and satisfying meal. This recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or for feeding a crowd at your next gathering. Give it a try and taste the flavors of the south in every bite.
