Slow Cooker Chili Recipe ~

Tuttorosso is an American based supplier of Italian-style canned tomato products, such as whole peeled tomatoes and original pasta sauce, that is primarily based in the southeastern United States, but they are expanding to the western U.S. currently. Recently they sent us a very nice package of their products to try and we put them to good use!
Tuttorosso Care Package
The package they sent included three 28 oz cans of tomato products, including Crushed Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce, and Peeled Pear Shaped Tomatoes. It also included a beautiful red cooking apron, a pot holder, a bottle cozy, a chart of cooking measurement conversions (this is REALLY handy), and several recipe cards! Pretty sweet, huh?
The first recipe that we used the Tuttorosso products on was homemade chili beans. It’s cold outside, and a warm bowl of chili beans is a great way to warm yourself inside and out. We put the Tuttorosso Peeled Pear Shaped Tomatoes in our recipe, and it added a remarkable flavor that just accented our chili beans perfectly!

Chili Recipe With Tuttorosso Tomatoes
You will need..
One 28 oz can of Tuttorosso Peeled Pear Shaped Tomatoes
Four cans of dark red kidney beans
3 lbs. of lean ground beef
One 12 oz jar of hot banana pepper rings
Two packs of hot chili seasoning – or mild, if you’re scared 😉

First, brown the ground beef in a large skillet and drain the grease. Then combine all ingredients into a large slow cooker, stir them to get an even mixture, and cook on low for about 3-4 hours depending upon your slow cooker. Check them regularly to make sure they are not burning. Also, do not drain the juice from either the kidney beans or the banana peppers as this will add moisture and flavor to your chili.

After the chili beans are cooked, you can add shredded cheese and/or crackers to your bowl of chili beans for added flavor. Be sure to savor the flavor of your Tuttorosso Peeled Pear Shaped Tomatoes and thank these fine folks for supplying a tasty part of the ingredients for this recipe! Also be sure to pick up your own tasty Tuttorosso tomato product to add to your own recipe today!

I love chili, never tried it with peeled pear tuttorosso tomatoes though. Looks great!
I have been craving chili and this just looks awesome! You can never go wrong with banana peppers! I can’t wait to try it!
I agree! You can’t go wrong with banana peppers! In chili, on pizza, straight out of the jar. Yum! We sometimes use fresh peppers from the garden {different varieties} when they are in season, too. We like to experiment. 🙂

I LOVE chili but haven’t made it in quite some time. I might have to try your recipe!
I love chili this time of the year. It makes winter so much more bearable. We used crushed tomatoes in our chili, but I am going to have to try it this way.
We always used crushed tomatoes, too. I have to say, I prefer this way though. I think the tomatoes taste so much better.
Dawn
In winter I can’t get enough Chili, fancy tomatoes, too! 🙂
Me neither! Love chili!

I never thought to use pepper ring in chili. I love them and eat it right out of the jar.Next batch of chili I’m adding it. Thanks.
We sometimes add jalapenos, too, depending on our mood, and if we can’t find that hot chili mix. 🙂
Dawm
Love chili at our house! This looks really tasty!
Totally going to track down these tomatoes. Quality canned ones make all the difference, especially in my addictive Italian chili!
We love chili, and plum stewed tomatoes are one of my favortie, I get coupons for this brand from paper every now again but can never find the product in my store :/
Oh no! They probably have a store locator on their site that you could look at?

I’ve never tried making chili with Tuttorosso tomatoes or banana peppers but that’s a great idea. It looks delicious. I bet my family would go nuts over this recipe!
I love chili and I love slow cooker recipes. Chili is one “cold weather” meal that I love to eat year round. It is especially good the next day I think. Making it in the slow cooker will keep the kitchen from getting so hot this summer! Thanks for what looks like a delicious recipe. I will try it very soon!
Yay! I hope you love it. And yes, part of the reason that I love cooking in the slow cooker is that it doesn’t heat up the kitchen as much. I also love how you can leave it simmering longer, without fear of ruining your dish. It’s cooking for people who just don’t want that much of a fuss. 🙂
I l ove making everything possible in the slow cooker. It makes the meat so tender and the flavor much richer!
This chili looks delicious! I love me some good chili. I am going to have see where i can find these tomatoes because I lOVE adding tomatoes in my chili it just makes it taste soooo much better. I am definitely going to have to make this recipe. Thank you for sharing.
My husband loves spicy foods. I will definitely be trying this chili recipe, but I might sub out the kidney beans since DH and I both dislike them. Yum!
We have made it with pinto beans, too. You may want to try that. 🙂
I love slow cooker chili
I have a slow cooker but have never used it…..I think I’ll try this recipe to break it in.
My husband JUST made homemade chili two days ago. We used Tottorosso tomatoes because to my knowledge they are the best. It was soooooooooo good!
Looks yummy! I’ve never heard of these type of tomatoes before.
They are the closest to tasting like fresh or home canned that I have ever tasted from a store.
