Hi Jessica,
Do you really use(total) 88 ounces of beans?
Jessica Fisher
Yes. It’s a large batch of chili that will serve 8 to 12. It freezes beautifully. Since the large cans of beans are so much cheaper than the smaller ones, it’s super affordable to make a big batch and freeze it if you won’t use it all in one sitting.

Any idea what size crockpot you’d need for this recipe?
Jessica Fisher
I believe I made it in a 4 or 5 qt. slow cooker.
Shonda
OK. I’ll try it sometime and let you know.
Shonda
I’m wondering if I could use a 15 bean mixture that I have made for beans. I have so many of them, but don’t know what to make with them.
Jessica
@Shonda, I think most beans would taste great in this chili.
Lisa
Everyone in my home loves this recipe. 🙂
Do you have any guessimate as to how many one-cup servings this recipe makes? I need to know for dietary reasons (so I know how much I’m eating, etc.)
Thank you for your help.
Jessica
I think last time I made it, it was 12 to 16 cups. Sorry I’m not more help!

If I make this in the crockpot should I still do the following or just dump it all in the crockpot? “In large pot, heat oil. Saute onion until transluscent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and saute 2 minutes more. Add tomatoes, enchilada sauce, beer, beans, cumin and chili powder. Bring to boil.”
Jessica
@Mary, I like the flavor that sauteing adds to the onions, so yes, I would saute the onions and garlic and then toss everything in the crockpot.
Amanda
I love how simple this chili is to make. However, not a fan of cumin. Would it ruin the recipe to leave it out, or have you any ideas for a suitable substitution?
Jessica
Yes, you can leave it out. The enchilada sauce has enough flavor. You should be good.
