chili started! it's gonna take 6-8 hours in the crockpot,
easy base:
1 can beef broth, 1 can beans, 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can diced tomatoes (i like the ones with green chili or jalepenos) add chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper to your desired level of taste (i also use habanero sea salt and scorpion pepper sauce because I love spice)
then sauteed some onions, peppers, and meat of choice (I'm using chicken, some steak tip leftovers I had, and a turkey pepperoni stick diced up)
add the meat and veggies to the base, let cook in the pot for several hours.
(i meant to post this at like, 10 when I started it and it's been cooking since then)
