Jimmy Fallon’s Crockpot Chili

Jimmy Fallon’s Crockpot Chili recipe is a quick to make and delicious chili for any night of the week. It also makes enough to feed a crowd!

I am most entertained by people who sing and people who make me laugh. Visit my Kitchen Music page for my current music mix to cook and bake to. As for laughter Jimmy Fallon nearly always does the trick. His musical skits happen to be some of my favorites. Search for his parody of “More than Words” with Jack Black on YouTube if you haven’t already seen it.

My husband loved this chili because it was heavy on the beef. My kids enjoyed it because I told them Jimmy Fallon gave me the recipe (HA)! And I loved it because it was quick and easy. Win. Win. Win. This recipe was one of my earlier posts back in 2013 and it has become so popular that I decided to give it better photos. The original chili recipe was shared with Martha Stewart here. 

Tips for Jimmy Fallon’s Crockpot Chili:

• I chose to publish this recipe as originally given to Martha Stewart – but as a short cut instead of chopping the whole tomatoes, buy cans of diced tomatoes or even crushed tomatoes 
• Don’t like cilantro? Don’t use it!
• If you want to skip the beer, add in a can of beef broth instead
• This makes a large batch of thick, meaty chili – it’s great for serving a crowd
• I use an 8-quart capacity crockpot for this recipe
