Chef's Note

This chili freezes beautifully, so consider making a larger batch (4-6 servings) and freezing individual portions for busy weeknights. For extra depth of flavor, toast your spices in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding them to the slow cooker. You can also prepare all ingredients the night before and refrigerate, then simply start the slow cooker in the morning before heading to class.
