The thing I love about is chilli is it’s an amazing batch cook recipe. I love to save portions for later on in the week to top a baked potato or even microwave for lunch.
I love a minimal prep recipe like this. Simply put all of your ingredients in your slow cooker, give it a stir, switch on, and tuck in hours later! The worse bit about slow cooking is smelling it all day, it really makes me starving!

Can you put raw mince in your slow cooker? Do I need to brown it first?
No need to brown the mince. Mix the raw mince in with the other ingredients, switch on the slow cooker, and I guarantee you will have beautiful tender mince at the end of cooking. I almost never bother browning mince for slow cooker recipes. But if this is your intention you must use 5% fat mince, otherwise your chilli con carne will be swimming in oil.
