Crock-Pot Chili (Easy Slow Cooker Chili Recipe)

The long-simmering cooking method in the slow cooker gives the flavor lots of time to meld together. Over time, the chili will thicken and your house will smell amazing!

You can cook this overnight (if you can leave it alone!) or, it’s great to prepare everything and then start the Crock Pot in the morning and let it cook all day.  Because, you’ll throw everything in the crock pot and it’s ready in a few hours. Of course, you can also start it in the morning, and it will be ready by dinnertime! speaking of time: this stuff gets better over time. So, you can make it up ahead of time if you’re planning to serve it at a party (think Super Bowl party!)

Best Comfort Foods

Nothing warms up a cold winter day quite like a hot bowl of chili with beans. It’s even great in the summertime! You can add heat to it with chopped jalepenos or hot sauce (like Tapatio or Tobasco).  Or, skip the onions and peppers all together and make a milder version that even little ones will love. As with all my recipes, it’s really versatile. I almost never make it the same way twice!

And, did I mention it’s SUPER Yummy?!

Crock-Pot Oatmeal Recipe (Slow Cooker Recipes)

Crock-Pot Oatmeal Recipe (Slow Cooker Recipes)

Crock-Pot Oatmeal Recipe (Slow Cooker Recipes)

Years ago, an online friend introduced me to Crock-Pot Oatmeal with an amazing recipe. Back then, we called this overnight oats. Now that the craze to soak rolled oat oatmeal in things like coconut milk overnight came about, calling this overnight oats seems misleading. This is not the popular overnight oatmeal which is no-cook, in the fridge, often in a mason jar. But, it IS amazing!

Slow Cooker Recipes are awesome because they’re so easy to make! These recipes aren’t quick, but they don’t take much of your time. You just set everything up and let it cook for several hours.

In our Crockpot Oatmeal Recipe, you put everything in the Crock-Pot the night before and by morning it will be ready to eat! And, your house will smell amazing. This does not disappoint, trust me.

What you’ll need

Even if you don’t love oatmeal because it’s smooshie or slimy, you will love this!  See, you this is not made with traditional rolled oats (regular oatmeal). Instead, it’s made with steel cut oats which remind me of Grape Nuts cereal. When cooked overnight in the slow cooker, oatmeal recipes with steel cut oats are a great consistency. Not mushy or runny – just right!

Consider yourself warned about how good this recipe is!! The full recipe makes a very large batch of oatmeal. I usually halve everything instead because there’s nothing like waking up to the smell of this delightful morsel, and eating it fresh and hot!  Set it up the evening before you want it for breakfast, and let it cook overnight. Your house will smell fantastic in the morning!

Thanks to Jacque for giving me this recipe years ago, so that I might become ever-so-slightly addicted to Crockpot Oatmeal. 🙂
