1tblellow cornmeal, for thickness and texture (optional)
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the meat and the onions until the meat is brown. Drain off any fat. Stir in garlic, chili, cumin and oregano, cook another 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, in 4 or 5 quart crock pot, place beans, tomatoes (force tomatoes through a sieve or collander if you do not like big chunks of tomato in your chili), chicken broth, green pepper and cornmeal. Stir in meat mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high setting for 4 to 5 hours. Ladle chili into bowls and top with cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. You may want to add a tablespoon of freshly chopped onions and some chopped cilantro to your chili. Serve along side freshly baked cornbread with some honey butter. YUM
Notes
TIP: a spicy addition to this crock pot chili is a tablespoon or two of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Or, if you prefer hot, chop up some fresh jalapeños and toss them into the crockery for a nice tasty kick!
