Instruction

  • There are two ways to make this chili.
  • In a large skillet, cook your ground meat until no longer pink and drain. Dump into slow cooker. In the same skillet sauté the pork chops and beef until no longer pink. Also dump into slow cooker. Add all of the ingredients, stir and cook on low for at least four hours.
  • The night before I want to eat the chili I coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray. In a large bowl I add all of the ingredients together, except the raw meat and beans, and stir to combine. Set aside. Crumble the raw ground meat across the bottom of the slow cooker. Next spread out the raw sliced pork and beef on top of the ground meat crumble. Pour tomato mixture over raw meat and do not stir the contents of the slow cooker. Let it all cook on low overnight. Wake up, stir the chili, add the beans and let it cook on low all day. Garnish with chopped onions, jalapenos, cheese, and/or sour cream. Serve and enjoy!
