Chunky Chili

A rich, tasty chili that is easy to prepare and cooked all day. No long list of ingredients, you probably have them all in your pantry already!

This really NEEDS a good long stay in the crockpot, in order to blend all the flavors properly. I LOVE making this chili – it’s so easy, makes a LOT (so plenty to freeze for later – chili dogs? a quick lunch?) Served with some corn bread, or tortillas, this is a hearty dinner ready for when you walk in the door! A note about chili powder. Whenever that appears in a recipe, it refers to a chili powder BLEND, not pure ground chillies.
