Slow Cooker Chili

With the temperature not reaching above zero today and a busy day planned at home, it was nice to be able to stick something in the crockpot in the morning and have a ready hot meal for dinner.  This recipe is one of my oldest son’s favorites (we never call it just plain “chili” around here; when asking what’s for dinner, it’s always “chili, baby!!”)

This is another recipe that I found at Nourished and Nurtured.  I hope that you enjoy it 🙂
