Instructions
- Serve homemade chili using a slow cooker to cook the chili warm. You can use the stovetop, but a crockpot is a great option. There is no need to worry about burning the chili. You can find double or triple slow cookers if you plan to make more than one type of chili.
- Provide paper bowls, napkins, and plastic silverware for easy clean-up.
- Set out all the toppings in small bowls or ramekins, including a variety of toppings from the 45+ topping options above.
- Organize all the options into toppings, sauces, and garnishes. Make sure the sauces are in easy-to-pour bottles.
- Make sure everything is in order in which your guests will need them: 1) bowls, napkins, utensils, 2) chili, 3) toppings, 4) sauces, 5) garnishes, 6) side dishes, and 7) beverages.
- Include menu cards for topping combinations guests can use to make their own bowl of chili. For example—Tex-Mex, chili cheese dog, or the ultimate spicy chili.
