    slow cooker tex mex chicken chili

    Oooooh buddy.

    This chili will rock your socks off…it might even knock your cowboy boots too 😉

    We’re gonna let this one slow cook the day away…then top it with some sour cream and cheese. Because….yes, please.

    This meal is freezer friendly…you can freeze all the ingredients together in a baggie or container and then add to the slow cooker to cook. These FreezEasy Bag Holders come in super handy when preparing “dump style” meals, like this one, for the freezer!
