This chili is incredibly easy to make, and has a surprising depth of flavor for something that comes together in no time before the slow cooker takes over the work. I can make this for people who like it hot or mild just by changing the salsa. You can make it really spicy if you add hot peppers and hot salsa. —Bonnie Altig, North Pole, Alaska

This slow-cooker chicken stroganoff takes just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of your time, but it's still rich and comforting. If you need a reason to dust off your slow cooker, this is it.
