Slow & Spicy Slow Cooker Chili

- #87907
This slow cooked chili gets lots of flavor from the combination of both sausage and ground beef. Because the meat and vegetables are browned first, this recipe has a short cooking time meaning you do not have to get it in the crockpot too far in advance of dinner.

I loved the combination of sausage and ground beef. It had really good texture and lots of flavor. Flavorful, but not overly spicy (you can definitely opt for the "hotter" versions of the ingredients if you wish). Delicious!
