I missed Slow Cooker Thursday last week, but I am back!  Head on over to Sandra’s blog and see what people are using their crock pots for.


This is super tasty.  We started using this recipe a couple of years ago.  It was also the star tasty treat at my Dad’s surprise birthday bash last year.  This recipe was not originally for the crock pot, but it works great.

If you have any around, boneless skinless thighs hold up better for long cooking in the crock pot and work really well in this application.  I do like to precook the onions first in olive oil until golden and just starting to carmelize as I think it adds a nice flavor to the chili. I have also just tossed everything into the slow cooker, including using raw chopped chicken instead of cooked, and let it cook until done.  If doing this, layer the onions, garlic, and chicken on the bottom of the crock first so they will cook more evenly and be right by the heat source.  Then put the rest of the ingredients on top.

This makes a huge pot!  I use my 6 quart slow cooker.
