Crockpot Chipotle Chili with Salsa
I think the crockpot gets unfairly labeled a winter appliance, since you usually use it to make hot soups and stews (which are mainly winter foods).
But I love my crockpot year-round because I love a warm hearty meal in the winter and I love not doing a lot of hot cooking in the summer.
If you choose to ignore your crockpot all summer long, go ahead and file away this recipe for winter. If you aren’t opposed to chili in the summer (and we just had this on Sunday and no one seemed to mind that it was 105 outside), this crockpot chili is a winner recipe.
Also, this is the easiest recipe ever. Dump everything in your crockpot and leave it all day. Done. You know this crockpot chili is my kind of dinner.

Yum! I love soup year-round but my husband insists it's just a fall-winter food. I may need to make this and convert him!
