This Easy Crock Pot Beef Chili recipe is a favorite of my family and one we always get asked the recipe for! Now I will admit I was way late for jumping on this chili train but oh my gosh let me say what a time saver this is for dinner!!!  The first time I made this was in 2017, and now we keep batches frozen in the freezer for quick dinners. 

 (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) In addition, this post contains affiliate links that will make me a small commission when used to order online. 

Now this dinner was made even easier in that I had everything on hand to dump and cook it!! I have shared before how to prepare ground beef (see -> here)to have on hand for easy dinners.   Seriously I can’t believe I hadn’t tried making this before at home, it will be going on the menu a couple of times a month from here on out. 

Cooked Ground Beef In Containers Before Freezing

Take a lot of prep work out of weeknight dinners and precook and freeze your cooked ground beef! Pull and defrost the ground beef to put in recipes like this for an easy weeknight dinner! (If you aren’t sure how to best do this, check out Freezing Cooked Ground Beef)

 Crock Pot Beef Chili Ingredients:

  • Ground Beef– The ground beef will need to be fully cooked and drained of grease before starting the recipe.
  • Black Beans
  • Chili Beans
  • Onion– You can use onion powder as well if your kids won’t eat onions, or chop them larger for kids to pick out.
  • Bacon– I prefer to use thick-cut bacon for this, you will cut it into small chunks to cook before putting it in the chili.
  • Corn-Frozen or canned corn will work in this recipe, I tend to use canned as the corn is a bit firmer than frozen corn.
  • Diced Tomatoes
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Beef Broth
  • Garlic Powder
  • Cummin
  • Montreal Steak Seasoning 
  • Salt
  • Pepper 
  • Chili Powder
  • Cayenne Pepper

How To Make Crock Pot Beef Chili Directions: 

Spray your crockpot with a non-stick spray, I used my 8-quart crockpot, large enough we have leftovers to freeze!

Now if you don’t want to do the nonstick spray you can use crockpot liners, these make clean-up so much easier!

Open up your cans of beans and corn and dump the cans into an over-the-sink strainer rinse your beans and allow them to drip dry.

Either reheat your ground beef or brown your ground beef in a pan and remove the grease. 

Slice up your bacon and start to cook it in a frying pan, I didn’t cook my fully cause we like juicy chewy bacon.

Open up your tomatoes and beef broth. If you are using Better than Bullion starts to make the broth that way.

Dump everything else in the crockpot and stir everything together.

Allow the chili to cook on low for 6-8 hours stirring a couple of times while it’s cooking.

Weight Watchers Point Breakdown For Beef Chili

Using 93% lean ground beef and regular bacon my chili works out to 7 points a serving. You could reduce how much meat there is and add more beans to lower points. Or even take out the bacon. The ground beef and the bacon are the only ingredients with points in this recipe.

This Easy Crock Pot Beef Chili is a huge hit with the whole family!! Just dump everything in and cook on low for an amazing frugal winter dinner!

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?

When starting any new weight loss program or diet changes be sure to consult with a doctor or physician about any personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.

New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly allowance, which is handy when you need more points.

I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, blue plan, green plan, purple plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022 is similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.

No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight a couple of times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. You do stay on as a lifetime member, just working towards goal.
