So the big game is this weekend. You want to know a little secret—– I can’t even remember the teams that are going to be playing. I know that’s terrible. My husband would just shake his head in shame right now if he knew I said that, but it’s the truth.

I try not to store to much useless information in my brain so I know I have enough room for the important stuff 🙂

Hey, I need all the help I can get!

Anyway I thought I would make some easy crock-pot chili to share with everyone for the big game. It requires minimal effort, which I really like—- I know I am so lazy sometimes.

Just brown your hamburger and chop you veggies. Toss everything into a crock-pot and forget about it! I love it. And as everyone knows chili always tastes better the next day and I would definitely have to agree. There are so many topping options out there as well. Cheddar, avocado, Fritos, Goldfish (my kids favorite)….. I could go on.

So have some fun with this recipe, go crazy with the toppings and have a fabulous super bowl weekend! 🙂
