Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 8 hours | Extra time: 8 hours, chilling

Go The Extra Mile

Make the chili the day before you want to serve it. Cook, then allow to cool and refrigerate overnight. In the morning (or when desired), return chili to slow cooker and heat on LOW for another 3 or 4 hours.

Alternate Method

Cook on HIGH for 4 hours.

Tip

To thicken the chili, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Slowly stir cornstarch mixture into stew with slow cooker set to HIGH, then repeat until desired thickness is reached.
