That’s right! You read it here first, Chili has gotten a re-do, it’s gone from the older recipe to something a bit more new and more mellow. This isn’t a spicy one, but you could easily add pepper flakes or jalapenos or something and make it spicy! But I really wanted something that was full of flavor and not a omg-that’s-hot sorta dinner you know?
Cool tip? If you miss sour cream on your chili, make some mayo and add extra Apple Cider Vinegar or some Lemon Juice to it to make it tangy. Put a dollop ontop {or you know.. maybe two} And you’ve got insta- feels like sourcream with out the dairy!
I also think avocados, chopped tomatoes, scallions, and olive oil are great Chili toppers!

Serves 3
Prep Time
10 min
Cook Time
6 hr
Ingredients
- • 1 lb pork
- • 2 medium onion, medium dice
- • 4 carrots, medium dice
- • 1/2 - 1lb of some kind of meat {See How To For Details}
- • 8 oz package of mushrooms
- • 3.5-4.5 tbsp Chili Powder
- • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- • 1 Tbsp of Dried Basil and Oregano
- • Salt + Pepper
- • 1.5 Tbsp Cumin
- • 1 Big {28 oz} Can Crushed Tomatoes
- • 1 14 oz can diced tomato
- • 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- 1.) In your crock pot put your chopped onions and carrots in and your mushrooms. I bought the pre-sliced because they were one sale, but feel free to use whatever is cheapest at the grocery store.
- 2.) Then Add your Ground Pork and Meat… I had left over roast so I used that, use whatever left over steak you might have or if there’s bits and pieces in the freezer use that. Doesn’t matter… just steak / red meat of some kind… cooked uncooked.. whatever floats your boat and makes it as cheeaaappp as possible for you!
- 3.) Then add in all your Herbs / spices, Canned tomatoes, and Apple Cider Vinegar. Stir it all up, cover, and set on low in your crock pot for 6-8 hours {or High for around 4 or so}.
- 4.) It’ll look thick when it first starts, but about 30 minutes before serving it, if it looks a bit watery / thin, feel free to add in a tablespoon or so of Tomato Paste to thicken up!
Notes
- • You could also do this over the stove, just add in veggies and meat, cook all the way through, add in your spices and tomatoes, etc. Then let simmer for around 30-45 minutes

This recipe was so good! I used ground turkey and boneless short ribs because that’s what I had, but we all loved it. My 3 YO daughter was sad this morning that it was gone and she couldn’t have it for lunch again, lol…
Just threw this into my crockpot for tonight. Used boneless loin back rib cuts and ground turkey, and a ton of seasoning. Looking forward to it.
This sounds SOOOOOO GOOOOOD! Can’t wait to try it!
I made this chili yesterday and it was AMAZING! The best chili I have ever made. Thanks for the recipe!
