Perfect Presentation Platters

This Crockpot Chili looks amazing in everyday bowls, or festive pumpkin bowls for autumn. Here are some of my seasonal and regular favorite serving pieces!

Crockpot: I used my favorite 6-quart crockpot from Walmart, which is at a great price!

Large Pumpkin Serving Bowl: Pottery Barn has a beautiful White Pumpkin Stoneware Tureen ($89.) Walmart also has a beautiful Pumpkin Tureen (with leaf detailing!) for under $24. Target also has a slightly smally version Pumpkin Serving Bowl for $20!

Individual Pumpkin Bowls: Pottery Barn has individual white pumpkin bowls with lids for $15 each, as part of a whole collection. Walmart also has this orange ceramic set of two! Finally, Target has individual pumpkin bowls that match the larger serving bowl.

Individual Serving Plates: I layered white bowls over black-and-white checkered plates from MacKenzie Childs, which also come in a blue or pink version! For adorable and more affordable serving plates, I am obsessed with this beautiful coordinating set from Target for a great price!

Halloween Kitchen Links: You can find my favorite Haunted House Cookie Jar at Pottery Barn! I also love these elegant MacKenzie-Childs Striped Pumpkins set or her Boo Pumpkins Set, which is a bit less expensive. I’m also obsessed with the Cauldron with Witch Boots!

Can I Prep This Crockpot Chili Recipe in Advance?

Easy meals that can be prepped in advance are my love language. 🙂 Just throw it in the crockpot and go about your day! To save even more time, you can also wash and slice the veggies several days in advance (just store in the refrigerator.)

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover Crockpot Chili in a Tupperware container and keep refrigerated, where it should stay fresh for several days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave at 30 second intervals until preferred heat is reached.

Enjoy!

I hope this Crockpot Chili is a new favorite in your recipe rotation! For more delicious recipes, be sure to try our Pumpkin Chili that’s perfect for Fall, Crockpot Cajun Chicken Fettuccine, or healthy Crockpot Chicken Fiesta Chicken. Let’s get cookin’! 🙂
