Hello! Today I am sharing this easy Slow Cooker Chicken Chili recipe made with Hurst’s® HamBeens® Slow Cooker Chili Mix. You can find where this mix is available in your area here. Hurst’s® sells many more bean mix varieties, they’re most widely known for their 15 bean soup mix. Stay tuned here in the next few months I have 2 new recipes made with their 15 bean mix, I’m bursting at the seams not sharing them yet.

Below you will see that the Slow Cooker Chili Mix has pinto beans, small red beans, black beans, and kidney beans. This is a great bean mix for chili since I usually can’t decide on one bean anyway. The Slow Cooker Chili mix comes with a chili seasoning packet that is low in sodium, so you can control how much salt you want to add. I recommend adding the salt and any tomato products at the end of the cooking time, these both can inhibit the bean softening process if added at the beginning of the cooking time.

Hurst’s® HamBeens® is a family run company who I’ve got to know over the last month and I am proud to share their products with my recipes on the blog. Their bean mixes and the slow cooker go perfect together and what’s great is you can make the recipes your own by adding your favorite ingredients. You can see more recipes that work with their products here. I hope you stay tuned over the next few months to see what else I am cooking up with Hurst’s® dried bean mixes. You can see the video about how to make this chili in the recipe box below. Have a great weekend and I hope you try this chili recipe soon!

      What else can I use if the Hambeens are not available?

        May 11, 2020 at 10:25 pm

        Hi Gema, I would use 1 pound of pinto, black or red (or a mixture), and a chili seasoning packet (usually 1.25 oz.).

      Do you have to soak the beans like a regular dry bean?

        November 5, 2018 at 4:13 pm

        You do not, the beans do well without presoaking. But you can if you want.

      What if I soaked my beans overnight, can you give a idea of how long they should cook then?

      Any idea how to convert this recipe to using a pressure cooker instead?

      • Sarah Olson says

        October 17, 2018 at 6:41 pm

        I think it would be 45 minutes in a pressure cooker. I hope that helps!

      I live in Australia as well I have never heard of the beans u are talking about u say send away on amazon for them it would be to expensive for us to do that ..would be great if u could let people what they could substitute instead of what u use as lots of people are in different countries that follow your recipes ..cheers

        Hi Maggie! I’m sorry you can’t find the beans in your area, you can order them from the website. If I was to make this without the mix I would do 1 lb of dried beans and use chili powder and salt to taste.

      Hi Sarah,
      I went shopping at Publix yesterday and found Hambeens right on the shelf. Picked up the other needed ingredients also. Even though it’s still in the low 90’s, with our warmer than usual fall, I can’t wait to try the chili recipe..today! Thank you for sharing!

      I’d just use chili beans. In Wisconsin never heard of hambeans.

        Hi Traci, there are quite a few varieties in Wisconsin. 🙂 I find the largest variety to be at Walmart.

      Just about every grocery store has a 15 bean soup mix in plain or spicy available. No recipe is written in stone so make substitution where needed.

        Hi Daniela, the muffins are from a box mix. I spray my muffin tin with oil very well and they come out easily.
