This is one of my very favorite chili recipes.  The best part is that you chop up two – yes, TWO things, and then you just throw everything else into the crockpot for the day.  No meat browning, no bean soaking.  It’s a simple, delicious, and very hearty chili.

Serve it up with some cornbread, and you’ll be in fall/winter meal heaven.

Enjoy!
