Looking for a delicious meaty chili! Make this Alton Brown’s Copycat Crockpot Chili.

One week I was trying to find a recipe to use chipotles in adobo from making my chicken tinga tacos. (If you haven’t used chipotle peppers they add such a great flavor to anything).I always hate throwing away an entire container of chipotle peppers since I only use two for the recipe. I found Alton Brown’s Pressure Cooker Chili.

Alton Brown's Copycat Crockpot Chili

Alton Brown makes his chili in a pressure cooker but since I don’t pressure cook I thought I would try it out in my slow cooker.

Guess what… It’s just as delicious! I do recommend using at least two kinds of meat. It really adds to the flavor but even with just one meat with all the other flavors in the recipe its bound to be yummy.

This chili does have a kick to it so be warned. It is also very meaty, which I love.

Lots of Leftovers- Alton Brown’s Copycat Crockpot Chili

One of my favorite parts of making chili is using it in different meals! I love using the leftover to make chili baked potatoes or chili nachos.

My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I’m not home when the food is finished cooking and it just switches to warm. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!
