Family and friends will never guess the secret to this spicy chili! Powdered peanut butter and ancho chili powder give incredible flavor to this so-easy dish. Throw the ingredients into your slow cooker in just 10 minutes and come home to a feast. Easy enough prep for an overnight cook or while you are at work, making this chili ideal for busy weeknights. Use leftover chili as a taco filling for another night of meals. To turn down the heat, use a green bell pepper in place of the poblano. Make sure to have plenty of lime wedges on hand to guest to spritz their bowls.
