Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes, after completing steps 1-4 on the stovetop, transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-10 hours or high for 2-4 hours. Proceed with steps 6-8 at the end of cooking.

What can I substitute for the jalapeño?

Try serrano pepper for more heat, poblano for milder flavor, canned green chilies for convenience, or omit entirely if you prefer no spice. The Cajun seasoning still provides plenty of flavor.

Why did my chili turn out too thin or too thick?

If too thin, simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to reduce liquid, or mash some beans against the pot side to thicken. If too thick, add chicken broth 1/4 cup at a time until reaching desired consistency.
