| Easy easy easy easy chili recipe in the slow cooker! |
Blair from allfreeslowcookerrecipes.com issued a challenge to me: Make a slow cooker recipe using only products from the dollar store. I accepted the challenge (of course). I headed to Dollar Tree with my daughter and we had fun looking up and down each aisle and then finally deciding on a spicy chili. It was so easy...not to mention it serves 6 and cost $4.00! If you're not into spicy stuff then just buy regular diced tomatoes instead of the tomatoes with the green chiles.
Makes 6 servings
2 (13 oz) cans of chili with beans ($2.00)
2 (13 oz) cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles (came in a bonus 2-pack so they were $1.00 total)
1 (14 oz) can corn, drained ($1.00)
1. Combine all the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir until combined.
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours until flavors are blended.
3. Serve with sour cream and cheese, if desired.
Review:
Easiest recipe ever. Plus it was totally budget-friendly. It was a little too spicy for my taste (next time I would just buy regular diced tomatoes). I added some sour cream to cool it down a bit and that helped. But for those of you who like things hot hot hot you'd love this. If you're cooking- challenged this is a good way to make "homemade" chili to bring to the potluck or to the neighbor's house without really having to cook (they'll think your a star).
4 stars. Thanks for the challenge, Blair!!

Are you kidding? This is not cooking--it is "can opening"
Great idea! Always need more slow cooker recipes, and this one has protein and flavor. Yum. :)
Sometimes opening a can is all you have time for.....
I agree. Sometimes it's also all you can afford! Our budget is so tight, sometimes $5/meal dinners is too expensive. A meal like this can be a dream. (Husband is ill, will only get progressively worse, cannot ever work again.)
Lovely recipe its help us for made cooking i try it soon as soon i like your blog.
This is a great chili recipe! Loved the corn in it. However, like some, I can't take much heat, so I put it over rice. I too am economically challenged. The rice "cools" it off and makes it go further.
