With just 10 minutes of prep time and seven ingredients you probably already have on hand, this one-pot meal couldn’t be simpler to make.

Quick tips for keeping this one-pot meal simple!
The secret to making this meal so simple is by taking shortcuts. We love a good, truly homemade chili as much as the next person, but during the busy work week, time doesn’t allow for that so this semi-homemade version is the next best thing! Using canned tomatoes, beans, and vegetables is key to getting this together in your slow cooker quickly so that you can go on about your busy day without worrying about what’s for dinner. Toss everything in the pot the night before or in the morning, turn on your Crock Pot, and come home to a big bowl of comfort on a chilly evening!
