Easy Crock-Pot Chili
Lover of all countertop cooking like slow & instant cooking. Sometimes in many ready-to-freeze batches. Adding more recipes. Soon.
Don't let the cheese and sour cream fool you. This chili has a nice zing to it.
Serving suggestion: A couple slices of crusty italian bread and a side salad make a complete and hearty meal with this chili recipe.
Delicious and Easy Slow Cooker Chili
I have been making a version of this chili con carne for a really long time. Unfortunately for my kids' education, I had never recorded out how much of the spices I use. But now I have it figured out, and it works better than I originally thought.
To my ladies . . . Finally, here's the recipe you have been asking for.
Love, Mom.

I like chili with more cheese and sour cream. Yum, but contrary to what Oprah says, no bread.
