Winter Chili

With the weather still cold, I enjoy nothing more than a hot bowl of chili. I don't have all day to cook it though so I made this recipe and it only takes about 25 min to cook. If you want, you can brown the meat and dump everything into a slow cooker on low for 6 hours and it would be very tasty! I makes quite a lot...probably enough to serve 5-6 adults. If you'd prefer to serve it over rice or over nachos...feel free!! This too is an inexpensive meal costing less than $10.
