      I am wondering if I could divide this chili recipe in half so I could make it in a smaller crockpot? I have one in my camper that is like 3 or 4 qt size. Perfect for my hubby and I with some leftovers or a larger portion. I have a larger crockpot in my home but I didn’t think I would have enough room for a lot of left overs or food due to space.

        Hi Amy ~ Absolutely! You can definitely divide this in half and make in two separate crockpots. Just keep an eye on the cook time, as it may cook a little faster. Hope that helps!

      I tried your chilly last weekend and it was delicious. I have been looking for something that comes close to my mom’s recipe and this was it!! She has been gone almost 18 years and my first bite of this chili, well she came to mind right away. I used it to make over the top chili. Put it in the crock pot for a couple hours then on the smoker with my meat made like a meat loaf over the top on a baking rack and let the juices run into the chili and smoked it for about 2 hours then chopped the meat up into the chili and it was absolutely delicious.

        March 5, 2022 at 12:13 pm

        I honestly have not made it this way. You could try adding some extra beans to compensate for the lack of beef, so the chili would not have too much liquid.

        If you do give it a try, please let me know how it goes.

          Hi Erika ~ this makes a pretty big batch, so a doubled portion wouldn’t really fit well in a crockpot. If you have two crockpots, you could make a batch in each one at the same time, or another idea would be to make one batch in your crockpot and one batch in your instant pot with the following recipe… hope that helps! 🙂

      I’m going to try the crockpot chili recipe for my next church “small group” gathering. Because I’m not supposed to serve an entire meal, I think I’ll take Fritos, sour cream, and the extra cheese for letting my friends add to their soup; hopefully, that will make it more snack-like. =) I think they’ll love it! Now to find a great cookie or bar recipe from The Frugal Girls (there are many) to take for all of us sweet-lovers. Thanks for the great ideas. Love your site!

        Aww ~ thanks so much for the sweet comment, Sherry! This is perfect for a small group gathering, and the Fritos, Sour Cream, and Cheese are fabulous additions to the chili, too. YUM! Have fun!

          I doubled the recipe and added an extra can of tomato sauce. Turned out delicious! I will definitely use this recipe every time I make chili.
