{Crockpot Chili}

Holy Wow, Batman!

Talk about some good chili!

I got this recipe from Pinterest, of course.

The website is broken up into a lot of different segments so here's the good stuff to know from Jaguar Julie's Award-Winning Chili:

Award-Winning Chili Recipe Ingredients:
6.75 lbs. Ground Chuck - 80/20
2 - 28 oz. cans DelMonte Diced Tomatoes Garlic/Onion
3 - 15 oz. cans Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans
3 - 15 oz. cans Hunt Tomato Sauce
3 - Medium Vidalia Onions
2 pkgs. Lawry Chili Seasoning
1 pkg. Publix Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded
1 - 12 oz. can Budweiser Select Beer *
Spice Islands Cayenne Pepper
Salt and Pepper -- season to taste
Lawry Garlic Salt -- season to taste
1 cup of water

*The secret ingredient!

I halved this recipe in most instances of each ingredient.

I used almost 2lbs of ground turkey

2 cans of Chili Beans

1 can of DelMonte Stewed Tomatoes with Jalepenos, Garlic, & Cumin

I used 2 Tbsp paprika and 2 Tbsp of Garlic Powder

I used 3/4 of one large yellow onion. 1/2 went into the crockpot and 1/4 of the other half was for toppings.

I ended up not using salt and pepper because I never cook with it so actually forgot about it.

Haha I also just realized I forgot about the cup of water.

The rest of the ingredients I found and used as directed.

Cook the ground meat until done.

While your ground chuck is browning, you can chop two of the onions [one of the onions will be saved for the topping] and add to your crockpot along with the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili beans, and spices. Since I was using two different crockpots, I divided up the ingredients proportionately between the two crockpots.

Once you have drained the ground chuck, you will add that on top of the other ingredients. I usually pour the beer on top and mix in as the final step to covering the crockpots, setting it to high. Once it starts to bubble, I turn in down a notch and let it simmer for a couple of hours.

I added the shredded cheese, onions, and a tablespoon of sour cream to my own bowl of chili and oh. my. word. Talk about delicious. It truly is the best chili I've ever had.  I won't lie, I licked my first bowl when I was done and went and got a second bowl of it. I did not lick the second bowl haha but got some sliced french bread to mop it all up with. ;)
