TIME FOR CROCK POT CHILI

Well, it is finally a bit cooler here in the mornings and evenings ... but during the day still warm. At any rate, I made Chili today and served it up in my new Longaberger chili bowls and my Pumpkin Tureen. YUM!!! Just add a little cornbread and cheese & onions for toppings and you are good to go!

Brown the meat with the onions and garlic ...

Dump everything in the crockpot ...

It looks like this while it's cooking ...

Here are my Longaberger chili bowls (by the way, these things are wonderful!) ...

And my Pumpkin Soup Tureen filled with yummy chili ....

Dig in ...

Yellow Beach Dog's Chili

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

1 clove garlic or Garlic Powder

1 large onion, chopped

1 1/2 tsp. salt

3 Tbsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. dried basil

Dash of cloves

2 cans kidney beans, undrained

1 large can diced/crushed tomatoes

4 cups tomato juice (or less ... I find that it is just a little too runny with 4 cups - I think I would cut it down to 2 cups)

Brown ground beef with garlic and onions. Add remaining ingredients and put in crockpot on low for 6-8+ hours. Serve with cornbread and toppings of cheese & onions.
