Big Dave’s Crockpot Chili (Lower Sodium)
6 steps
Prep:1hCook:3h
I’ve been working on this recipe for a while. Trying to mix savory and tasty with the least amount of sodium possible. A nice mix of flavor and mild heat (2 out of 10). Won’t tear up your stomach either.
Update 10/28/24:
If you like more liquid in your chili, leave all the liquid from cans of vegetables. If you enjoy your chili more chunky, make sure to drain all the cans and double your tomato paste.
