As we say “hello” to cooler temperatures that means it’s time to pull out your ole’ faithful friend…the slow cooker. Any opportunity to toss a bunch of ingredients together, walk away and then come back five hours later to a fully prepped dinner is a win in our book!
This recipe is the perfect transition from summer to fall. It’s not quite as hearty as a traditional chili, but still gives you that “warm from the inside” feeling. It’s creamy with just a little kick and reheats like a dream. We love to jazz things up around here, so we suggest topping with shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, green onion, and/or a fresh squeeze of lime.
