Instructions

  1. Brown ground beef with onion powder & garlic.
  2. Place browned meat & the remaining ingredients (except beans) into the crockpot.
  3. Stir to ensure all ingredients are incorporated (mixed well).
  4. Cook on Low 6-10 Hours.
  5. Add Beans to the Chili 1/2-1 hour before the end of cooking (long enough to heat them through).
  6. Special Note: I have added the complete 6oz can of tomato paste (so as not to waste it) with no issues. You may want to add a bit more water if you do use the whole can. Also, I have used just kidney beans or just pintos or both (for a realy hearty chili). This is one of those recipes you can play around with and have little ill-effects.
  7. Also, I like to top ours with fresh grated cheddar cheese & a dollip of sour cream immediately before serving.
