A delicious twist on regular chili! Perfect for dinner or set up as a chili bar for game day! Slow Cooker Tortellini Chili Recipe from Hot Eats and Cool Reads


Slow cooker season is in full swing at our house! I've made a few different slow cooker recipes over the last few weeks and will be trying out a few more. Today's recipe is a new favorite of mine. Tortellini has been on my menu alot lately, so I decided to give it a try in chili. It was fantastic! Cheese is always good in chili, and when adding the tortellini, the cheesiness goes to a whole new level. Also, by adding the tortellini, you're stretching the recipe much further, making it great for larger families, or leftovers for lunch at work.


This chili is also great served at your next game day or holiday party! Set up the kitchen chili bar style with bowls of various toppings such as: diced onions, chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheddar, corn or tortilla chips. Also serve it with some homemade Quick Peppery Cheddar Cheese Bread on the side for dipping! You can't go wrong with this crowd pleaser!

I made this batch of chili in a Programmable Stay or Go® 6 Quart Slow Cooker from Hamilton Beach. This slow cooker has alot of great features including a clip that seals the lid onto the base, dishwasher safe, high, low and warm settings, as well as options for two, four, six, eight and ten hours of cooking! It also automatically switches to the warm setting when your cooking time is up. I love knowing that my dinner won't be burnt when I get home. All these features are great for successful slow cooker cooking.

  6. First, this chili sounds delicious - so clever to add tortellini. Second, your photo of the slow cooker makes me want to run to the store and get a new one. Mine is so old it has Off-Low-High and that is all.
