Today is a wonderful day!
Not only is it Superbowl Sunday…it’s Slow Cooker Sunday as well.
Pull out the Crock-Pots people!
My Slow Cooker Cincinnati Style Chili is da bomb!
I decided that I wanted to cook one of my favorite chili recipes…Cincinnati Style Chili…you know the one with the five ways of eating it!
Well, I just added a sixth way of eating it…HOTLINKS!!!
Yes…spicy hot links to kick it up!
Don’t forget to preboil the hotlinks to remove some of the grease out of them.
I sauteed all the veggies, added the ground turkey and lots of spices, poured in all the ingredients and brought the mixture to boil for 5 minutes.
Next, I transferred everything to the slow cooker and cooked on high for 6 hours.
Lastly, it’s topping time.
Place cooked spaghetti in the bowl, top with chopped white onions, top with chili, more onions, and loads of cheese.
Add cooked beans if you want, but Big Goo doesn’t like beans in his chili so I omitted them.
Grab a cold Coke in a bottle, and it’s time to eat!
This is the ultimate game day eat and it’s so easy to prepare.
If you love spicy food with a kick, this is the dish to impress all your sports loving family and friends.
Enjoy!
