    Easy Gluten Free Slow Cooker Chili is an easy meal, packed with healthy carbs and filling protein from beans, beef and loads of veggies. Cozy in a bowl!

    Chili season is a great time. Especially slow cooker chili because it doesn't get any easier than that.

    Having a gluten-free crock pot chili like this one in your recipe rotation is super because you can make this meal for supper OR you can use it as a #mealprepwin!

    Make this chili on the weekend and pack into containers for the week ahead.

    You don't need a lot of ingredients for this gluten-free chili - it's no-fuss meals here!

    Here's what you'll need to make this Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Chili:

    • Ground Beef
    • Sweet onion
    • Celery
    • Red pepper
    • Kidney beans
    • San Marzano or plum tomatoes
    • Corn - canned or frozen kernels
    • Spices - chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt
    • Cooked basmati rice for serving (optional - this is is how I love to eat it, on rice)
    • For toppings - lime wedges, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream

    Can you freeze this slower cooker chili?

    Yep! This chili recipe will freeze for up to 3 months in an air tight container. Defrost overnight and re-heat in the microwave. Or you can place the frozen chili right into the crock pot and re-heat it.

    Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?

    Sure thing! Ground turkey will just fine; you can replace the ground beef with ground turkey 1 for 1.

    I don't have the "San Marzano" or plum tomatoes. What can I use instead?

    That's okay. You can use canned diced tomatoes instead. It will turn out very similar.
