This recipe for Slow Cooker Ranch Chili combines a few of my favorite chili recipes. I basically took what I loved from each recipe and put it into one awesome recipe! It is the ULTIMATE chili recipe!! This chili has two types of meat - ground beef and stew meat. We loved the combination! There is a little kick to the chili from a can of Rotel tomatoes. Make sure to use mild Rotel tomatoes if you are sensitive to heat. We didn't think it was spicy, but I know some people might.

This Slow Cooker Ranch Chili might be the best chili we've ever made. It was SOOO good! It was even better the next day for lunch. We love to top the chili with corn chips, cheese, sour cream and jalapeños. Serve this with a nice pan of Southern Cornbread for a quick and easy meal!
