My Chili Recipe

since I posted the other day that I was making my first batch of fall Chili in the crock pot, I got several requests for the recipe. Here it is:

CROCK POT:
combine:
1 lb ground beef (I put it in there frozen, not pre cooked)
1 large onion, diced small
2 small cans tomato paste
2 small cans of diced tomatoes (I put one in the food processor and made to juice)
      You can used canned tomatoes if you have them on hand!
2 cans kidney beans (I use one light and one dark) You can add more if you like a lot of beans

Seasonings:
about 3 or 4 tablespoons of Chili Powder (as usual, I just dump it in)
2 tablespoons of garlic salt
2 tbs pepper
2 tbs cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground mustard
a few dashes of Red Hot if you like it extra spicy

I don't measure my spices, I just add here and there, so you can season to taste. We like ours pretty hot, but you can omit the cayenne and Red Hot if you don't like it hot.

Cook in crock pot on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, depending on your settings.
Serve with shredded cheese and crackers.
