Can this chili recipe be made in a slow cooker?

Yes, of course. Just add the first 7 ingredients (olive oil, white onion, red pepper, sea salt, black pepper and ground beef) and following the first 3 steps of the recipe below. Once in a slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients and cook for 6-8 hours on low.

Can you freeze the stovetop chili recipe leftovers?

Yes, but I can almost guarantee there won't be any left to freeze. However, you certainly can freeze leftovers and then thaw and reheat in a small saucepan on the stovetop.

Can I swap ground beef for ground turkey?

Yes, they can be swapped pound for pound, but you may want to add in a little bit more taco seasoning to offset the taste of the ground turkey.

What are some great toppings for my chili?

Be creative! You can make homemade lime crema , add chopped cilantro, pepitas, fresh chopped avocado or tortilla strips.

What should I server with my stovetop chili recipe?

We highly recommend checking out our homemade tortilla chips recipe or making homemade cornbread . Of course, organic blue or white corn tortilla chips are delicious too - just watch the ingredients!

Notes

Ground beef – We love using ButcherBox for our grass fed, grass finished beef. You can use any local ground beef, just look for 90/10 or 93/7.
Black and pinto beans – Always look for organic and bpa-free cans. Also, if you don’t have or like one of these types of beans, then add in 2 of the other. For example, if you don’t like black beans, add in 2 cans of pinto!
