How To Make Slow Cooker Chili 

My family loves to watch football on Sunday.

Being from New England, I’m sure you can guess who we’re rooting for.

If that doesn’t give it away, my 16 yo nephew’s name is Brady! 

One thing that we all love is chili, nothing fancy. Just a classic chili recipe with a little heat, but not too much.

We keep a jar of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce out if anyone wants to make it a little hotter.

This chili recipe is one I’ve been making for years.

I’m sure it is from an old cookbook that my husband had.

I’ve made it so many times now that I know exactly how much chili powder to add to get it just right for both my son and daughter.

But my daughter will add hot sauce to pretty much everything!

I’m thrilled to be participating in a fun #ChiliCookOff with a great group of bloggers.
