I have made the Crockpot Chili and it is really good. I go by looks of a recipe so adjust ingredients to your preferance and how many you have to feed. My friend Mo sent me her recipe and I am sure it is fabulous.

Crockpot Chili:

1 pkg. hamburger-I like to use lean hamburger and alot of it.

Celery, cut up

Sliced fresh mushrooms

Green Peppers, chopped

2-14-1/2 oz. cans Del Monte Diced Tomatoes With Zesty Mild Green Chilies

1-30 oz. can Hunts Chili Beans, drained & rinsed

1-28 oz. can Whole Peeled tomatoes

Farmer John Smoked Sausage Hot Links-cut up in thick slices

Cook hamburger & sausage in a skillet; drain grease. Add all of the above & the hamburger sausage mixture in crockpot. Cover the top with chili powder, stir, and cover it again with chili powder; stir again thoroughly.

*I am guessing on how many cans I used for the tomatoes..so buy more or less according to how many people you have to cook for. Use more or less chili beans..I use the 30 oz. can of chili beans. I have a large crockpot and it is full by the time I get done with putting this together.

*Stewed Tomatoes would work also or use a combination of diced and stewed tomatoes. If they don't have green chilies in them..buy some green chilies in a can and add them...opt.
