Three Bean Crockpot Chili
Posted December 28, 2013 by Prairie Wife - 4 comments
This chili is a Christmas Eve tradition on the Prairie Homestead! I usually serve it with homemade cinnamon rolls or cornbread. I claim it is homemade, though it really involves mostly opening cans…but I say it counts!
Throw it in your crockpot before you head to work in the morning, or let it simmer in a pot on the stove.
Feel free to add an extra kick by switching the mild Rotel tomatoes for spicy, or adding some jalapenos. We like to top ours with shredded cheese and raw onions, and sometimes a little sour cream.
Let me know how you change this recipe and make it your own.

2. Drain all 3 cans of beans, and empty them into your crockpot.
3. Put all the other ingredients (do not drain) into your crockpot (I usually add 1 can of water at this point).
4. Close the lid and set the timer on your crockpot for 4-8 hours. If you are cooking your chili in a pot on the stove bring all the combined ingredients to a boil. Then let them simmer for 30min-2hours stirring occasionally.
5. If you feel that the chili is too thick, simply add some more water.

Chili is a good thing for my family because it is so easy to make one pot vegetarian and another my husband would like. I’ll have to give this a try.
Traditions at our house are as much of a challenge with blending our cultures as cuisine. Still wonderful, none the less! Merry Christmas!
Hope you like it, let us know 🙂
Excited to give this a try! Next week we are trying the brussel sprouts recipe!
Let us know how it goes Alyssa!
