We used ground elk and sausage to give this chili a meaty disposition and let it cook all day in our crockpot so all the flavors could slowly melt together. We had the ground elk on hand but you could substitute ground beef or bison if you don’t have any elk meat.
This chili is so easy to make, just toss all of the ingredients in the crockpot and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It seriously takes only about 5 minutes to put everything together and comes out tasting like you slaved over a boiling pot for hours. You could get creative with the toppings and add some chopped onions, avocado, olives, or tomatoes if you want. Or you could keep it simple and just scoop it up and eat it as is.
