This satisfying spicy chili recipe is made in the slow cooker. Start it before you head off to work, and return to a homemade meal ready to eat! I like to put two scoops of sour cream in with my bowl.

Recipe Tip

If you want to kick it up a notch with the fire factor, add more cayenne pepper about 2 hours into cooking, then again after 3 hours of cooking.
