Cooking

Notes

For extra flavor, sauté the onion and garlic in a pan before adding them to the crockpot. If you like a spicier chili, add some jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Adjust the amount of cream or milk based on your desired creaminess. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for later use.
