Just when Shepherd’s Pie couldn’t get any better, we turned it into an award winning chili. You are going to love this Shepherd’s Pie Chili, and your family won’t be able to get enough.
The winters are long here in Utah, and the best way to get through them are some delicious, warm dinners. This chili is a spin off of shepherds pie, with all the delicious benefits of chili.
Your family will love it. All the flavors come together and create this beautiful dish. And the best part is… it’s all done in a slow cooker. We love to serve ours with breadsticks or Frito Lay Corn chips.
How to make slow cooker Shepherd’s Pie Chili
Step 1: In a pan, cook the ground beef until cooked all the way through. Drain grease well and rinse with water. Place the cooked ground beef, in the slow cooker.
Step 2: Then add in the chopped onions, carrots, and celery.
Step 3: Add the peas, corn, kidney beans, tomatoes, and potatoes to the slow cooker.
Step 4: Mix the ingredients around a little bit, so they are evenly cooked.
Step 5: Add the tomato sauce, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chili seasoning mix, and water.
Step 6: Stir so it is fully combined, then add the salt and pepper to taste, paprika, and garlic, mixing until fully combined.
Step 7: Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6.
Step 8: Stir throughout to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Step 9: Serve with garlic bread, rolls, or breadsticks. We also like Frito Corn Chips with it.

Looking for a healthier alternative?
If you want something a little more healthy, try making this recipe with ground turkey instead. You could also add any vegetables in this.
It’s a very versatile dish, that is flexible with ingredients. You can add any of your favorite veggies to this chili.
Some of my favorite vegetables to throw in are corn, sweet potatoes, celery, zucchini, etc.
