  **Note: This recipe can also be prepared in a shorter amount of time on the stovetop. Prepare as directed above, but combine all ingredients in a large pot and allow the chili to simmer at least an hour and a half to allow flavors to marry. Flavors intensify with longer cooking time, however, so I prefer the crock-pot.
