Spicy Crockpot Chili

Add all the chili seasoning spices together in a bowl and mix.

Chop the onion, 1 jalapeno and the garlic for the meat. Set aside. Take about a cup of kidney beans and a cup of pinto beans and put them in a blender. This isn’t an exact science, the more you use the thicker your chili will be. Blend for about 2 minutes and set aside.

In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5 minutes and drain. Mix in about 3 tablespoons of the chili seasoning, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the onion, garlic and pepper you chopped. Cook for about 2 minutes, chopping up the meat into small pieces. Put it into a large crockpot.

Add the tomatoes and remaining whole beans. Stir together. Now add the bean paste, 2-3 more tablespoons of chili seasoning and the remaining jalepeno (sliced). Cook for about 4-6 hours in the crockpot on low.

When ready, turn the heat off and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Slowly add the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, tasting as you go until you get the flavor that you want.

Top with garnishes and enjoy!
