Tis the season when the crockpot lives on our counter top. I love coming hold on a cold day to the smell of something cooking in the crock pot all day. And the smell of this chili alone will warm our insides.
It’s really hard to classify a good chili. The dish itself comes in so many forms & flavors. For this version I really wanted to use my basic chili base but kick it up a notch with big hunks of beef (that melt in your mouth after hours in the crockpot) vs the typical ground beef chili.
If you are here for crockpot season, here are a few other recipes that you might enjoy:

Crockpot Healthy Chicken taco Soup
Make it Baby Led & Kid Friendly
Take it easy on the spice. If you make a mild version of this by eliminating the chipotle powder the soup will be toddler + friendly. For tiny littles, I would recommend removing a few pieces of beef & beans & rinsing them off and serving these to your infant without the soup. Dependent on the age, mashing or pureeing the beans may also be recommended.
