Tips for making the best Crockpot chili:
- I used chicken thighs, but you can use breast meat if preferred. In a pinch, you could always skip the meat, or use canned chicken instead.
- Feel free to improvise with stewed tomatoes, different veggies, and any type of canned beans desired.
- Add a hot sauce like Tabasco if desired, or chopped jalapeños. Since I’m making this for my kids I skipped that part, but I’m sure it’d be yummy.
- I seasoned using a packet of onion soup mix for additional flavor, and it was YUM. Plus, I have one child who can spot a piece of diced fresh onion a mile away, so this is a good alternative!
