Crockpot Meatball Chili
Description
My husband really loves to bite into chewy food, including oatmeal raisin cookies and thick slabs of ham. A few years ago, I wanted to improve my chili recipe to give it more "biteable" substance. So I tried substituting meat balls for crumbly ground beef. Bingo! He loved it.
For week night dinners, I’m a huge fan of “quick & easy.” After discovering frozen beef meatballs at our local Costco, I’ve never gone back to making my own. I bought frozen turkey meatballs this week and found the chili was just as good. The best part of this recipe is that only takes about 15 minutes of prep time.

This is making my mouth water. I love the chili taste and aroma. I have a great crock pot and will make this when my husband goes out of town. I love beef.
