Our annual Christmas party is such a blast. After years of spending all day making the perfect little appetizers and finger foods, I decided last year I was going to simplify.
A crockpot meal is exactly what we needed. With temperatures in Phoenix dipping into the frigid 60's in December {insert sarcasm}, I thought a warm and hearty chili would be perfect!
This recipe starts with 4 pounds of meat! That is some hearty chili. Hot Italian sausage and ground beef create a flavorful chili with kidney and pinto beans cooked in a smoky tomato base.
Add the perfect amount of heat and you have the best ever crockpot chili!
We served this at our Christmas party and our guests devoured it. We served it with some easy cheese bread and it made the perfect party meal.
No muss, no fuss. An excellent meal to serve at any occasion, prep and step away. Serve when ready. This chili will keep on a warm setting for hours.
Freezing: Cool chili to room temp and fill a freezer safe container 2/3 full with chili. It freezes for several months. To serve: defrost and add water to thin it out as needed. Reheat and enjoy!

Helpful Tips to make Simple Crock Pot Chili:
- Why New Mexico Chile Powder? It has a deep dark reddish brown color and features an earthy, sweet flavor and subtle, spicy heat. It is mildly hot and absolutely perfect in this sauce. It creates a truly authentic flavor! New Mexico Chili Powder can be found in the international aisle in the bulk bags or on Amazon. if you are afraid the heat will be too much you can use half New Mexico Chili Powder and 1/2 regular chili powder.
