How To Make kim's crockpot chili

  • 1
    Brown ground beef, or chuck and drain off any fat. Place this along with any or all of the above ingredients, into a larger crockpot. You may want or need to add about a quart or so of water, depending on how much fluid you like or need in chili.
  • 2
    Add as much or as little of these ingredients as you like. This recipe is better with the canned and smaller, more tender beans in pork and beans, or in canned vegetarian beans. However,I have also added a very small amount of canned red kidney and/or pinto beans, for experimentation only.
  • 3
    Let cook in crockpot on low setting for several hours. Very good with crackers, or homemade cornbread sticks. Please feel free, if needed, to adjust the amounts,ingredients to your own needs. Enjoy!
