crockpot chili

I promised I would post this sooner or later! Just looking at these pictures makes me wish I hadn't eaten all the leftovers! Special thanks to my dear friend Robin & her mom for passing this recipe along to me!

Let's start off with the ingredients:



-3 lbs ground meat (browned, crumbled, and drained). You can use less meat if you don't have that many faces to feed!
-1 onion chopped
-2 cloves garlic chopped
-2-3 cans kidney beans
-2 cans tomato sauce
-1-2 cans whole tomatoes
-2 packs McCormick chili mix
-dash of chili powder

First you want to brown the meat in a skillet. I like to sprinkle a little salt & pepper but don't put too much!



While it's browning I go ahead and chop my onions and garlic. See that knife? It's my best friend! Rada Cutlery. Google it.





Ok by now the meat should be browned.



Go ahead and get all the fat out, then pour the meat into your crockpot. Add the chopped onions and garlic.



Chili mix and dash of chili power...



Tomato sauce and whole tomatoes...



Kidney beans...



Now give it a good stir!



I like to cook mine all day! I cooked this for about 8 hours on low, stirring every so often. If you don't have that much time, you can cook it for a couple hours on high. I served this over fritos with shredded cheddar cheese. It was even better a few days later with some Velveeta mexican cheese poured on top!

P.S. sorry I don't have any pictures of when it was finished cooking. The game was on and I was hungry :)
