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. Â What I love even better is throwing everything in my slow cooker and letting it do the work while I do mine!
Load this chili up with your favorite toppings for the ultimate hearty and beefy chili! Â 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! Â Â I cook the stew in a huge pot outside and luckily have a decent sized yard to accommodate. Â My dog Baby enjoys all of the company, too!
Soup season is in full effect so put this chili on your must-make list, and don’t forget the cornbread!

I made this today using diced beef instead of ground beef (because it’s what was already in my freezer) and it turned out amazing! Super flavorful.
