We make prime rib just a few times a year, and we always buy too much. The next day we make Prime Rib French Dips. Then we still have leftovers after that.

Always having the problem of what to make next with the leftover prime rib, I created the best prime rib chili recipe for the slow cooker.

How to make Prime Rib Chili:

  • Prime rib – Leftover cooked prime rib. Cut into cubes and cut off any big fatty pieces. You can use 2-4 cups of prime rib.
  • Crushed tomatoes – Buy Cento brand if you can find it. It has a deep tomato flavor.
  • Beef Broth – Adds more beefy flavor.
  • Onion – I use half of a red and half of a sweet yellow onion (save the remainder for topping the chili).
  • Seasonings – LOTS of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
  • Worcestershire sauce – Adds another layer of flavor.
  • Canned beans – I use black beans but can use pinto or kidney.

How long can I keep leftover prime rib?

  • 5 days is the longest I keep leftover prime rib in the fridge.
  • Keep the prime rib whole until ready to use in another recipe.
  • You can freeze leftover prime rib, but do this closer to the day you made it, not days later.

Can I use a different kind of meat for this recipe?

  • Can use 1.5 – 2 pounds of beef stew meat. You can brown it if you desire before putting it in the slow cooker, or leave it raw.
  • Cooked and crumbled ground will work well in this recipe.

What should I serve with this chili?

  • Sharp white cheddar cheese
  • Onion – I use the leftover yellow and red onion from the recipe
  • Saltine crackers – Look for mini crackers
  • Cornbread – Homemade cornbread or store-bought cornbread (box mix).

      Hello,

      If I swap the meat with ground beef and brown it first, could I cook this meal for 4 hours on high instead? I don’t have a 5 hour on high option – only 4 and 6.

      Thanks!
