Football is back and we couldn’t be happier. Whether you are gathering around the TV to watch your favourite CFL or NFL team (or both), no gameday is complete without the right grub. The slow cooker is our best friend on game days. You set it and forget it, then get busy preparing other snacks, decking the house out in your team’s colours, and maybe sending a few trash-talk texts – all while the food cooks.

Along with the barbecue sauce, try adding a delicious creamy coleslaw to go with it.   Pile in all on a crusty fresh bun for the perfect game day sandwich.

Slow Cooker Chili con Carne

Thursday, October 13, 2016 at 3:16 pm by

You can stop looking for the best chili recipe now. You just found it. Well, you found the base of it, anyway. What really makes this slow cooker chili the best is the addition of whatever customizations you add to it, whether it be a little extra spice with a your favourite chopped hot pepper, or even a splash of a stout beer or red wine for a little extra depth. We’re not going to tell you how to customize it – that’s up to you. But we will share our Test Kitchen’s most trusted, tried-and-true, Hamilton-Beach-employee-favourite chili con carne recipe.  We’ll get you started with the basics, and then you can drive this chili bus home.

When you test as many slow cookers as we do, you need a recipe that’s easily made but still puts the performance of the appliance through the ringer. Chili does just that, from ensuring a consistent temperature throughout to the level of doneness of the vegetables and beans. Mushy, overdone peppers and onions will certainly stamp your ticket to chili cook-off loserville.

This recipe includes hot Italian sausage as well as ground beef. Hey, this is chili con carne, right? The more carne, the better. The sausage adds a little smack of spice and flavour to an otherwise basic chili.
