Spicy Pareve Crock Pot Chili Recipes

SPICY SLOW-COOKED BEANLESS CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, chili powder, cayenne, salt, garlic, and black pepper together in the crock of a slow cooker; add ground beef and stir.
• Cook on High for 6 1/2 hours (or on Low for 10 hours).

SLOW COOKER CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I like this one HERE).
• Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.
• Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.
• Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.
• Stir in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings.

SPICY & PAREVE CROCK-POT CHILI

Steps:

• Soak the dried beans in water overnight as per package instructions. (Add 1 tsp baking soda to the beans so they're less likely to cause stomach upset!).
• Rinse beans and put in crock pot.
• Add all the other ingredients to the crock pot, and add enough water to cover contents.
• If you desire a more "meaty" consistency, add vegetarian ground meat. (I often make without, which just means beans become the more dominant flavor.).
• Cook on "high" for at least 8 hours. Can subsequently be turned to "low" for use on Shabbat day.
• Serve with rice and cheddar cheese, if desired. Yum!

SPICY SLOW-COOKED CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground beef. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Combine ground beef, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, onions, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 10 hours, or High for 4 hours.
• Garnish each serving with Cheddar cheese.

EASY CROCK POT CHILI

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. (if using stew meat or buffalo meat only brown the meat, do not fully cook!).
• Drain meat if necessary.
• Combine meat/onion/garlic mixture with the remainder of the ingredients and put in slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove bay leaf prior to serving.
• I use Frontier Co-op spices that I purchase at my local health food co-op. I find their spices are extremely fresh and their 90,000 hu cayeene is great for slow-cooking recipes!
• If making this as a vegetarian chili, simply skip the meat and add more beans. I love to add black beans. Yum!
• Serve over rice or eat as is.

OUR FAMILY FAVOURITE CROCK POT CHILI (OAMC)

• The night before serving, defrost overnight.
