Crockpot Chili Recipe

Chili in a slow cooker, with ground meat, beans, and vegetables.

Estimated time: 5 – 6 hours

One of my favorite meals to prepare for the week is crockpot chili. It’s super simple, budget friendly and versatile for a lot of different diet types. Vegetarians or vegans can substitute ground meat for means and/or add ground seitan (which can be found in the frozen isle at your local market).

Preparation:

Cube and brown meat, add chili seasoning and cumin and continue to cook until meat is almost done. Chop and dice all vegetables, place in crock or stove top pot on low. Add all canned items and beef broth. Cook on low for 5-6 hours, add salt and pepper to taste near the completion of the chili.

Decrease the amount of jalapeño and chipotle peppers for a less spicy version, or add more for the intense mouthwatering version.

Ingredients:

2 lbs	Lean ground beef or turkey (90% leaner or higher)
32 oz	Tomato sauce
2	Medium green and/or red peppers
16 oz	Canned diced tomatoes
1/2 bunch	Celery
2 cups	Beef broth (or vegetable broth)
2	Medium onions
3 tbsp	Ground cumin
~20 oz	Canned green chilies
~12 oz	Canned jalapeño (add according to desired heat)
~ 12 oz	Canned chipotle peppers
8 oz	Sliced mushrooms
2 tbsp	Minced garlic
2 packets	McCormick chili seasoning
2 tbsp	Salt & Pepper (add to your desired taste during the end of the cooking process)

Why Can't I Always Lift My Max?

By Derek Saffold • February 19, 2026

Strength expression is our ability to show or utilize the strength we have. We call it expression because in the world of lifting, CrossFit, functional fitness, or training, our ability to show that strength varies. Even though our potential strength is the same, we are not always able to fully express it the way we want. Whether that is hitting a max back squat, doing heavy thrusters in a CrossFit style workout, or hitting that heavy clean complex when olympic lifting, we will not always be able to hit our maxes, this is because of factors outside of just our strength itself.
