Slow Cooker Cowboy Chili

We adore chili in the fall and I’ll have this one on the menu as the months get cooler and the weeknights get busier!

We love it because it’s hearty, it’s tasty and this one cooks itself all day! Keep it simple by warming up some diner rolls and steaming some broccoli. Easy, peasy weeknight supper awaits!

This is also a great one to make ahead and get into the freezer!

Enjoy!
