Crock Pot Three Bean and Beef Chili

I love using leftover chili for so many things – and this crock pot Three Bean and Beef Chili makes a superb chili dinner so quick and easy…and leaves plenty for leftover meal plans!

The perfect slow cooked crock pot family dinner (with so many uses for the leftovers!!) – 3 bean and beef chili!

I think I tend to be craving a chili omelette when I get this slow cooker meal started up. It never disappoints 😉

If you need a vegetarian or vegan version, this is just as good with the ground beef omitted and served as a 3 bean chili (cheese and sour cream toppings optional).

Also, my base beans for any chili are kidney and black beans (my third – or more – bean choices are usually based on what I have in the pantry or what I need to use up soon!).

We typically use our homemade chili seasoning mix for this recipe, but store bought seasoning mix packets can work in a pinch too.

Simply brown your lean ground beef, strain off any excess fat, then combine the browned ground beef with your chili seasoning and all of the remaining ingredients.

Set your slow cooker/crock pot on low for eight hours and get ready to enjoy this easy family meal!
