This recipe is easily adjusted for preparing in a crockpot!. After browning the meat and sautéing the onions move everything to a crockpot instead of a large pot. Then, add all the other ingredients to the chili and mix thoroughly. Allow your Sweet and Spicy Chili to cook for 4 hours on high or 6 on low.
And if you really want to make life easier use one of these slow cooker liners and save yourself from having to do any heavy cleanup!
