Hats off to all the people that make their own chili recipes, enter them in contests and win blue ribbons! I on the other hand am not one of those people! My cowboy hubby has a card party night tonight and needs snacks or crockpot items to bring for his buddies. He loves bringing chili because everyone is always amazed at "how good it is." Come on people it is as simple as it gets! No special ingredients, secret recipes etc just two busy people that through some junk in a crockpot and go.
Ingredients:
2 lbs fully cooked ground beef
30 oz chili beans (we like the hot/spicy)
1 qt tomatoes (straight out of my MIL's garden or the grocery store)
1 small onion
1 HOT chili seasoning packet (you can make your own but this is the simplified version)
Directions:
Throw all ingredients into the crockpot, stirring with each new addition to keep everything mixed well. The onion we keep whole by just chopping off and discarding the ends and the outer layer of skin for flavor only. We remove the onion before serving. If you like onion in your chili then dice and mix in. Cook on low for 8 hrs, the longer the better for flavor but technically it is ready to eat after thoroughly heated.
Serving suggestions:
Scoop out a large bowl, add a dollop of sour cream, top with cheddar cheese and crackers (or if you are like me, that spoon is just for looks, use the crackers to scoop up the chili). Enjoy with your favorite side of corn bread and or cinnamon rolls!
