Chili in the Crockpot: Tips for Success
- The amount of meat stated is flexible.
- You probably already have a crockpot or two, but they make great gifts, too! I just found this Crockpot bundle (view here), in which you get a round pot, an oval pot, and a mini.
- I think it’s safer to get your food to 160 degrees ASAP; although many prefer to “set it and forget it”). In Step 4, set Crockpot to HIGH, and heat the food for 30 minutes, before turning it to LOW. Then, proceed in 2-3 hours.
- To get the best of both, you can do the Steps 1-3 on the stove, heat to 160, and transfer to Crockpot… then set it and forget it!
