5 Can Slow Cooker Chili (A Round 2 Recipe)

When it comes to meal planning in the fall and winter months, I tend to lean towards the Slow cooker & CrockPot meals way more than I do in the summer months. I am also a fan of turning one meal into two or three others. That is why this recipe for Slow Cooker Chili is perfect for those cold, busy weeknights. Or anytime you feel like a good hearty slow cooked dinner.

This 5 can Slow Cooker Chili is the perfect meal for cold, busy weeknights. Use up your leftovers to make it quick and simple. A delicious Round 2 recipe!

The best part about our chili is not only that there are just FIVE cans involved and a few spices, but also that it uses whatever leftover meat you have available. I have made this recipe with leftover taco meat, barbecue ribs, even steak. I’m sure it would be just as delicious with chicken or turkey if that is what you prefer.

    The sour cream is a nice touch and really pretty with the little tidbits of green onions sprinkled on it. I look forward to trying your recipe and will be using this presentation as well. Pinned.

  2. This looks yummy!!! I never thought of using left over meat from something else! What a great way for food not to go to waste 🙂 Can’t wait to try it!!

  3. I like how you use whatever’s handy in your kitchen. I wouldn’t have thought to do that, but it makes sense. I’ll have to let you know what type of meat I end up using when I make this (probably chicken as that is our go-to meal).

  4. That is so smart to use leftover meat in your chili, I’m going to copy that because I hate it when I forget about something in the fridge and it spoils. I love how easy your recipe is but it looks so tasty. I love my crockpot too and need to just leave it on the counter all winter so I don’t forget to use it. I can’t wait to try yours for our chili cook off 🙂
