Chips with dips, bite-sized everything, everything under the sun off the grill, and – in my house at least – Easy Slow Cooker Chili!

Today, I have the perfect comfort dish for y’all. It can easily be made the morning of, seared off, tossed into the slow cooker to do its thing all day and then it’s ready for you to eat when you get home from work.

It’s a quick dish to pull together, and it’s super cozy for a chilly winter’s night.
