Equipment

1 4 qt crockpot

Ingredients

2 lb ground beef browned and drained
2 cans diced tomatoes 14.5 oz plain or seasoned
2 cans water 14.5 oz
2 cans red chili beans 15.5 oz
2 packets McCormick Chili Seasoning mild or hot, or one of each!

Instructions

Brown ground beef and drain well. Add to 4 qt slow cooker (crockpot). Add 2 cans of diced tomatoes, 2 tomato cans of water, 2 cans of red chili beans, 2 packets of chili seasoning. Turn crockpot on high until te mixture is hot. then turn down to low and keep there until ready to serve. Cook for 2 to 6 hours. You can also cook this in a stock pot on the stove and just simmer for a while. Simmering in the crockpot for a few hours develops the flavors. If you like the chili thicker, mix a couple of tablespoons of cornstarch with a little water or liquid from the chili, add it back to the chili to thicken it. Repeat if necessary to get the desired thickness. Serve hot with crackers or cornbread.

Notes

I like to serve chili with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of grated sharp cheddar cheese.
