Sunday I hosted the annual pumpkin carving party at our house. But I had a dilemma. I needed to find a dinner meal I could serve my guests that didn’t require me to be stuck in the kitchen. Missing out on the pumpkin carving fun was not an option. I knew I needed a “fix-it-and-forget-it” meal to serve my guests. 

Recently my friend Shannon made an awesome slow cooker chili recipe. It filled her whole crock-pot and served a group of over 20 adults and children. Her chili was delicious! I knew this was the perfect solution to my dilemma.  The chili could be prepped in the morning and simmer all day in the slow cooker. No missing out on pumpkin carving for me. Shannon graciously agreed to share her chili recipe with me. I think you will love it as much as my guests did!

Chili is such a hearty and filling meal to make in the cold fall and winter months. It’s a great meal to serve to a big group of guests.  It only takes a little prep work to get this meal into the slow cooker. Let it simmer all day to amplify the flavors and make your taste buds happy!

Doesn’t this bowl look delicious? Serve the chili in a big bowl to leave room for some yummy toppings.

Toppings to serve with the chili

  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • sour cream
  • diced green onions
  • hot sauce (for those guests that like a little “kick” in their chili)

This chili recipe was made in my trusty Hamilton Beach 7 quart crock-pot. I found mine on a super Black Friday deal but you can check it out on Amazon here. 

To amplify this meal even more, add a great side. Serve cornbread, biscuits or baked potatoes with your chili. I chose to serve my guests homemade corn bread muffins with their chili. My guests devoured their first bowl of chili and then went back for seconds! 

You can see from the above picture this chili recipe filled my crock pot full. This recipe makes a delicious big batch. If you have any leftovers (which you may not- it’s that good!) you’re set for lunch or dinner the following day! 

You’re only 6 hours away from a deliciously good meal. This recipe is so easy and simple to make. Print out the recipe and make this chili for dinner tonight!

🍎This weekend we went to one of my favorite pla 🍎This weekend we went to one of my favorite places to conclude my birthday celebrations. @apple_annies is such a fun family activity and everyone always finds their perfect pumpkin.
.
Honestly, we debated going this year as the cost of gas is higher right now. It's a 2 hour drive for us. But my hubby knows how much I enjoy going. It's my little taste of fall in the desert. 
.
So we made it happen by cutting out a few things like:
▪️packing our own lunches & snacks
▪️walking instead of taking the tractor ride
▪️only buying one pumpkin each
▪️taking a family picture in the apple orchard, but not picking apples
.
Even though we didn't do "all the things" at the orchard this time we made the best memories. It's about having fun with those we love and care about, no matter how small or simple.
