Answer 2

Chili is always good in the crock pot.

3 lbs ground meat (browned)
1-2 medium onions
1 15 oz can kidney beans (drained)
4 cups water
2 shakes crushed red pepper
2 TBS chili powder
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes ( I liked the seasoned kind)
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 pinch of salt to taste
1 clove garlic minced

Pretty much brown the meat with the onions and garlic. combine the remaining ingredients. Add the meat, garlic and onion. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4. Yummy.

Answer 3

Take a couple of pounds of ground beef and cook it in a frying pan until done. Strain all grease from cooked ground beef. Add canned tomato puree, onions, celery, salt and pepper to ground beef in a crock pot. You may or may not want to add creamed or whole kernel corn, (a matter of taste). Add a packet of any good chili powders, like those found in kroger. Turn crock pot onto a low setting and let it simmer for three or four hours. Check taste occassionally, may need to add water due to thickness, may need to add salt and pepper, may want to add additional seasoning for a more spicey chili. Just go with what tase good to you, you have the basic ingredients.
