This hearty Crock Pot Beefy Black Bean Chili is a definite must-make for game day or an easy weeknight dinner!

I love chili and the possibilities are pretty much endless when it comes to chili recipes. What I love even better is throwing everything in my slow cooker and letting it do the work while I do mine!

Speaking of work, I hoped to have this super-cool video of this recipe for you guys today but I had a major video fail (that happens sometimes, right?!).

So instead, I made you this cool GIF. Load this chili up with your favorite toppings for the ultimate hearty and beefy chili! I’ll probably make a pot of this chili for my upcoming annual fish stew party for those that may not like fish stew (is that humanly possible?).

I look forward to this party every year and have like 40 people coming to my tiny 800 square foot house in a few weeks! I cook the stew in a huge pot outside and luckily have a decent sized yard to accommodate. My dog Baby enjoys all of the company, too!

Soup season is in full effect so put this chili on your must-make list!
