We like chili in our house. Fall is here and the crockpot is out and getting a lot of use. I wanted to try making chili from scratch in the crockpot. I purposely kept this on the mild side, since that’s how I like it, as is also the case with my youngest and my brother who was over. Using only the chili powder also made it easier for me to be sure it was gluten-free. My oldest son loves things that have a lot of heat so he simply added hot sauce to it, which is what always does anyway. We were very pleased with the resulting dish. Here’s how I made it.
Homemade Gluten-free Crockpot Chili
INGREDIENTS
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2x 15.5 oz cans kidney beans, drained (I used 1 red and 1 pink)
- 2x 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes (I used roasted garlic and onion flavored)
- 1x 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp chili powder (I used McCormick Gourmet since it’s gluten-free)
INSTRUCTIONS
Brown the ground beef in the crockpot on the stove. Note – I used my new “browning” Crock-pot for this meal. If you don’t have one then just brown the meat in a pan and then move to the meat to crockpot along with the juices.
Add the remainder of the ingredients to the crockpot and stir well.
Cook on high for 3 hours.
Serve immediately. I like to sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of it when serving.

Chili is my husband's favorite thing to come home to when it's damp outside. He works outside, no matter the weather, and chili hits the spot. Bet he'd love your version here!

My fiance loooves chili, so I make it at least once a month. Because I make it so often, I'm always looking for new spins on it. Thanks for this!
