Awesome chili recipe…and so easy to make! Made this last night since it was my turn to provide supper for our small group. It got rave reviews and was all gone in just minutes! Thanks!
Do you drain the beans?
Hi Ashley – no need to drain the beans, just throw the whole can in, juices and all. If you are watching sodium, you may want to go with no salt added or low sodium beans. Happy Crocking!
Thanks so much! Love your website. My crocks are like my right arm.
How do you freeze this (ziplock bags, tupperware, etc)? Also, can I use chicken breast cut in cubes instead of the beef?
What a great recipe this chili is. It does freeze well in Tupperware! Thanks Jenn 🙂
Thank you Wes for posting back, love success stories! Happy Crocking!
