Summer Chili was created when you have 70-80o summer weather, cooking brats on the grill, having potato salad, and drinks on the back deck. Then BOOM 30-40o weather and Spring snow the next day. So you break out the crockpot, the left-over brats from that great summer dinner the night before, and you make Summer Chili! Enjoy! Are you looking for other great Crockpot recipes?
