Easy Crockpot Recipes: Crockpot Chili

Crockpot cooking sometimes gets a bad rap. Some call it lazy cooking. I call it efficient cooking. Most households have two working adults, so managing time away from the family wisely is essential. Many Crock Pot recipes only take 5 to 10 minutes to prepare. I throw it in the slow cooker before work, and it's ready when I get home. When you open the door, you'll notice the wonderful aroma of home-cooked meals wafting throughout the apartment.

Chili recipes are perfect for the crockpot. Usually cooked in one pot, they are easy to prepare and give off delicious aromas while cooking. The great thing about chili peppers is that you can easily change and adjust them to suit your tastes. Here are some quick and easy crockpot chili recipes.
