Crockpot Chili

There is nothing like a good pot of chili, especially on a cold winter day! So here is my chili recipe :)

1 bag of dry kidney beans (soaked in water overnight or at least 8 hours)
salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder (such as Mexene) to taste

1 lb of hamburger meat (browned and drained of grease)
1 onion
1 green pepper
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 can of Rotel
1 packet of chili seasoning

Drain beans of water and put in crockpot. Cover with fresh water (just enough to cover the beans). Add salt, garlic powder and chili powder. I think the amount of these depend on the persons taste. Set crock pot to low and cook for 2-3 hours.

Now you may want to drain the beans of some of the water. It depends on how soupy you want your chili.

Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir. Continue to cook 4-6 hours or until the beans and vegetables are done.

Top with some cheese and onions if you choose. We also like tortilla chips to go along with it :)
