Not for Sissies Red Hot Chili - Crock Pot Chili
"I don't remember how I came about this recipe, but it beat out my dad's chili in our family chili cookoff! This is powerful chili, so tailor the spices to your liking. I like to serve my chili over corn bread or fritos, and top it with cheddar and onions.My mom in law serves it over rice."

This recipe is very tasty and is so much better than my old chili dish! Depending on my target audience I either omit the cayenne or substitute the Jalapeno for 4x more Habenero peppers and substitute crushed tomatos for a jar of Ghost Pepper salsa. If you shop around for the right broth & beans it makes an excellent gluten-free meal that lasts for days. The 4 serving batch (it serves well more than 4!) fits perfectly in my 5 quart crock. -
my husband loves spicy stuff and this is his favorite dish for me to make. since he loves me i make it for him -
My fiance is a real spice fiend. He just adores hot food, so I made this more for him than me, but I still loved it! It made the house smell so good, I couldn't wait to dig in! So easy to put together, and great for those days when you just don't have time for a hands on dinner recipe!

Delish...i modified to 6 servings & that was way too much for us. -
All I can say is: I won the Chili Cook-Off! I did cut the cayenne in about half because I knew it would be too much for my coworkers. For myself I would use all of the cayenne.

This is by far one of the best chili recipes I've found. I opted out of using the bacon and added a habenero for a little extra kick. For a little healthier option, I'll substitute half ground turkey for the beef.

Made this last night on low for 10 hours, then switched to high the last 2 hours in the morning with added cornstarch because we like it thicker. I don't normally like to eat chili, but this is so good that we each had 2 servings and were craving for more. We used chipotle instead of jalapeno, and baked beans instead of kidney beans - all because that was all we had then. Excellent recipe - thanks for sharing. We will be making this again!
