This Chili is a Man Magnet!
Meatballs (instead of crumbled ground beef) give men an that extra chewing action which they seem to love. Works for Me!
1 (16) oz can Light red kidney beans, drained
1 (16) oz can of Dark kidney beans, drained
1 (14) oz can stewed tomatoes,
cut up
2 (6) oz cans of tomato paste
1 (14) oz can beef broth
2 lbs frozen ground beef meatballs
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste
Put all ingredients into a crockpot and set on high for the first hour; then reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 5 hours. (Substitute turkey meatballs for beef if desired.) Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Buttered cornbread muffins alongside will turn this easy chili recipe into a man-pleasing autumn feast.
Did you know? Dairy products like sour cream, cheese, and milk work better than liquids like water to cool the heat from spicey Mexican foods?
Video
Watch this video by allrecipes.com for important tips when using a Rival CrockPot slow cooker. I use this cooker every week in the cooler months and really love it. I've discovered that filling it under half way (and no more than two-thirds) full may not create the necessary suction to keep the lid tight. Each time the lid is removed, an extra thirty minutes of cooking time is needed.
Just for Kids

I never would have thought to do meatballs instead of the usual ground beef.
Great idea!! Thanks so much for sharing your yummy recipe.
Looks delicious, and meatballs are one of the only foods both of my kids gobble up. TFS!
That picture works for me. I'm going to try this recipe. I love crockpot chili, but have never thought about using meatballs. It definitely sounds man-pleasing.
what a grand idea my family is always wanting larger chunks of meat in their chilli bowl with meatballs this could be done
