Blue Ribbon Recipe

One of the secrets to a good chili is cooking it on low and for a long time. This chili recipe is so easy because once the beef is browned everything is dumped into the slow cooker. As it simmers the magic happens. This is a delicious, basic chili recipe. It only requires a few seasoning packets and it's full of flavor. Great for the colder months or even while watching football. We opted to serve this with Fritos, cheese, sour cream, and olives... so good!
