Chili is one of my favorite fall dinner recipes. It can feed a crowd or provide several days of leftovers for just the two of us. Plus, it’s a cozy, make ahead meal that fills the house with delicious dinner smells for hours. Today, I decided to spice up my standard chili recipe using a few simple ingredients and my Homemade Spicy Taco Seasoning. Keep reading below to check out my version of Slow Cooker Taco Chili.
Chili and tacos use a lot of the same spices. So, it was kind of a no-brainer when I decided to give my Slow Cooker Chili a twist with taco seasoning. You can use a packet of store bought taco seasoning, or two tablespoons of your own Homemade Spicy Taco Seasoning in place of your chili spices.
I also added plenty of corn and chopped green chiles to give my chili a southwestern flare. Don’t you think this chili would make a great nacho topping? If you try it, leave a comment and let us know how it went 🙂
What are your favorite chili toppings? I prefer a dollop of sour cream and cheddar cheese, but crushed tortilla chips would also be a great addition.
