Slow cooker beef chili is a hearty, comfort food dinner recipe, made simply in a slow cooker. This great fall recipe is so simple to throw together. It’s delicious served over brown rice with a little hot sauce!
This slow cooker beef chili recipe uses a blend of three types of beans; black, pinto, and kidney. Feel free to use whatever type of beans you like.

Chili over rice is a staple and a solid seller at our local Japanese-American festivals. Wonderful combo of pure ingredients, Amee =)
Thank you Kim! 🙂
Organic tri-bean blend? How have I missed that in the store? I’m so looking for it.
Nice, easy recipe too. I have to admit I’d top mine with jalapenos, sour cream, and cheese. It would still be unprocessed, just a tad more indulgent.
Renee, you can find the tri-bean blend at Kroger, it’s the organic store brand. Love them! Your version sounds yummy to me!
Great chili recipe! Perfect for fall, football and unprocessed foods!
You can’t go wrong with a bowl of chili! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Christy!
Your chili sounds perfect, Amee! I love serving mine over rice, too 🙂
Thank you Liz! 🙂
