So we’re going to have a chili themed month for the next four Slow Cooker Sundays. Chilis are of course wonderful cozy meals for this time of year and are always a hit at Super Bowl parties. This is my personal favorite slow cooker chili recipe. Oh and speaking of parties we went out last night to begin my birthday week festivities. Hello 31!
