Crockpot Chili Recipe

R3VIVE Fitness • April 19, 2020
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
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)

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.

Hey R3VIVE Athletes, The Apex training cycle, going from January 5th to April 3rd, is our next training cycle! This will be the firt training cycle of the new year! this is a chance to refocus and get in some good work to help you reach your goals! lets all work together to crush this training cycle! Functional Fitness: The Apex Cycle is designed to make your year-long strength work truly functional, focusing on controlled, powerful movements, complexes under fatigue, and mandated touch-and-go reps to prepare you for mixed-modal workouts. Our strength culminates in the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," while conditioning features a wide variety of time domains, movement volume builds (like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees), and regular Friday retests of past workouts to track your progress and ensure you perform your absolute best. Build: Designed to bring together all your training from the past year and prepare you for your strongest performance yet. Our strength work will focus on controlled, powerful movements, building you up to test your limits with both the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," which challenges your skill and strength balance. Expect a well-rounded program including unilateral strength, skill work, and core stability, with dedicated days for deadlifts, squats, gymnastics, and varied accessory work to keep you healthy and constantly progressing. For conditioning, we're tailoring the work to challenge you in new ways, featuring a wide variety of time domains and movements, and a specific volume build on common movements like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees. Instead of a standard test/retest, we'll be performing regular retests of past workouts on Fridays, allowing you to easily track your progress and see how far you've come. Our weekly template balances intensity—with short, fast metcons on Mondays—with recovery, incorporating lower impact endurance work on Thursdays, and a strategic taper toward the end of the week to set you up for success on Friday! Partner workouts will wrap up your week every Saturday, bringing the whole community together.
