Chili

It’s hard to beat a good bowl of chili after a long day of work. With that said, the recipe on the back of the packet is often a one-way ride to bland, uninspiring chili.

So, to keep things both easy and excellent, I simply take the seasoning package, ground beef, tomatoes, and chili, and dump them in a slow cooker on the lowest setting for 10 hours. This gives the flavors a lot of time to get to know each other, especially if you add some diced jalapenos, onions, and garlic like I often do. Bonus, it will be hot and ready when you get home.
