What to Serve with Chili
When making this crockpot chili recipe for dinner I normally make a side of cornbread and a salad to go with it. If you are not a fan of cornbread and fresh crusty bread will go perfectly.
What are good toppings for chili?
There are lots of toppings that you can pile on your chili to add even more amazing flavor. I don’t always put toppings on my chili, but sometimes we do. If we are having a get together having a chili bar is a great way to feed everyone. I double and triple this recipe and then put the toppings out in bowls for people to customize their chili.

Do you brown the hamburger meat before you freeze it?
MidgetMomma says
nope 🙂 it cooks in the crockpot 🙂
jennifer says
just so I understand correctly. The meat can go in the crockpot raw- it does not have to be cooked first.
MidgetMomma says
yes 🙂 I Put it in raw 🙂

If you don’t brown the meat, doesn’t it end up really greasy?
MidgetMomma says
no, I have never had an issue with it being greasy when just tossing it all in the crockpot 🙂
Sherry says
I accidentally tossed the ground meat into the my freezer bag with the other stuff raw and froze it for another night. Your recipe says cooked though, is there something I should do to correct this? Will it be ok?
Donna says
Do you drain the beans before putting them in the crockpot?
