Chili: Quick and Easy

Submitted by: Tenille Slack

This is a very easy chili.  Only takes a few minutes to prepare and is great for using food storage

1 pound ground beef, cooked and rinsed

(Note:  I usually don't use any meat.  Saves time and money)

2- 14.5 oz. cans of diced tomatoes

2- 8 oz. cans of tomato sauce

2-3 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon or less black pepper

1/8 teaspoon or less of cayenne pepper/red pepper (optional)

1 diced onion

Drain and rinse all beans:

2- 15 oz. cans of kidney beans

3-4  additional cans of different beans

        example: black beans, pinto beans, great northern beans, butter beans, etc.

Note:  Add a can of tomato soup if you want a runny chili

Pour all of the above ingredients into a crock pot.  Cook on high for 2-5 hours or low 6-8 hours
