Notes
Recipe Tip: When you first mix it up, the chili will be really thick, but it will thin as it cooks as moisture is created in the slow cooker. That said, it’s on the thicker side when it’s done. If you prefer a thinner chili, add some vegetable or chicken broth when it’s done to thin it.
Storage: This recipe is great for meal prep! Make a batch and store it in the fridge for three to four days. Or freeze it for several months.
