Chili.

Here's my second recipe that's awesome to make in a slowcooker. This has an intimidating number of ingredients, but they're all really cheap and it's super easy to make.

So the recipe is for chili. It's a bit sweet, not a hot chili.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can french onion soup
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 1 (40 ounce) can kidney beans
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 cup regular Coca-Cola

Steps:

1. Cook the ground beef. Don't overcook it. You may want to add a bit of oil if there is limited fat on the meat.
   
2. Drain the grease off of the meat.
3. Add the meat, Coca-Cola, tomato sauce, tomato paste, cocoa powder, pepper, salt, cumin, french onion soup to the crock pot.
4. Drain the kidney beans, add them to the crock pot.
5. Set the crock pot on low, cook it for a long time! After 8 hours the chili will be great to eat, but it keeps getting better. I've cooked it upto about 20 hours.
6. Add some sour cream and freshly grated cheddar cheese to the chili. Might also want to make some cornbread.

That's all for today folks! Enjoy those crock pots.
