[ADVICE] rice in a chilli in a slow cooker

Hello there, ladies!

Ok, so one of DH's fave meals is chilli con carne, so I'm making a mega batch up in the slow cooker so I can tub it up for his lunches.

It occurs to me that he'd love it if the rice was all nicely flavoured too - easy enough, since I'm doing slow cooker rather than skillet, and will have room!

My question - at what stage should I put the rice in, so it's not crunchy, but also not ridiculously bloated?

TIA

:happydance:

I would cook the rice separately, then add it still hot to the chilli, about 15 mins before it is done. I have never had much luck with adding rice and pasta to dishes in the slow cooker, so find this the best way with the best results. :)

I always add my rice and pasta to the slow cooker for the last 20-30 mins (on low heat) if that helps :)
Sounds d'lish
