This chilli can also be made in a slow cooker, just add all of the ingredients and cook on low for 6 hours. Alternatively, if you don’t have a slow cooker but have some time, turn the heat down on the chilli and cook slowly for an hour or two, this will make it really tender. This is also a great meal to batch cook and have in the freezer.
