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. 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 that 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 perfectly 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 there. 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!

        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?

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