Slow Cook Chili

So this is delicious and super easy. I usually will throw it all into the crock pot in the morning and then its ready to eat for dinner!

ingredients:
2 pounds soy smart-ground (or ground beef or turkey for the meatheads)
2 cans of kidney beans, but don't drain them! use the stuff they come in!
2 cans of diced tomatoes, also undrained
1 small can of tomato sauce
2 chopped onions
1 green or red bell pepper, chopped up
2 cloves minced garlic, or cheat like me and buy the pre-minced kind :)
2-3 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp salt
1 pinch of pepper
1 can of beer, I have used Rainier in the past but the last time I made this I used a Belgium lager and it was amazing.

Directions:
If you are making real meat, make sure to cook it before adding it to the chili. With the soy ground, I usually put it in a skillet and add some spices to it and then add it to the crock pot.  Add all ingredients to the crock pot and wait 6-8 hours and then enjoyyyyy! I usually add a bit of Siracha while its cooking. Super good, but I like it spicy.
Don't forget the corn bread! Some of your family members (myself and Sarah) have corn bread issues. We try to share but sometimes eat the whole pan. So, sorry about that.

  1. Just made some corn bread the other night... Jeff didn't really get his share. Ooops. Had chili too, just an excuse to make corn bread :)
