I am always on the hunt for simple, healthy meals to serve my family. This light-and-easy chili has been a family favorite for ages. I didn't think it could get better, that is until I was gifted a slow cooker. Creating this delicious chili in a slow cooker is so simple! This chili also freezes beautifully, so make a big batch and feast more than once! I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine.
