Here is my chili recipe





1 lb lean ground beef


1 can rotel tomatoes and chilies


1 can mrs grimes chili beans


1 sm (8 oz) can tomato sauce


onion (bout half of a small to med one)


5 Serrano peppers


salt, pepper, garlic


red pepper, chili powder





brown beef, drain fat, mix all in crock pot and cook on low at least 8 hours (but it can cook up to 12 hours) I remove the Serrano's and throw away before serving, but if you like spicy you can remove steam before cooking and leave in





I like to serve with Fritos and cheese, makes 4 BIG bowls
I make a killer pot roast in mine. Here's the recipe:





CROCKPOT POT ROAST





1 (3-4 pound) blade cut chuck roast


2 teaspoons kosher salt


2 teaspoons of your favorite seasoning or dry rub


Vegetable oil


1 medium onion, chopped


5 to 6 cloves garlic, smashed


1-2 cans (8 oz) tomato juice or V-8


1/2 cup balsamic vinegar


1 cup cocktail olives, drained and broken


1/2 cup dark raisins


Carrots (baby carrots or approx. 1” chunks of peeled carrots)


Potatoes, cubed (approx. 1”) (waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or redskin)





Place a wide, heavy skillet or fry pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Place half of the potatoes and carrots in the crock pot. Meanwhile, rub both sides of meat with the salt and cumin. When the pan is hot (really hot) brown meat on both sides and remove from pan and place in crock pot and cover with remaining carrots and potatoes. Add just enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan then add the onion and garlic. Stir constantly until onion is softened. Add the tomato juice, vinegar, olives, and raisins. Bring to a boil and reduce the liquid slightly. Pour the sauce over everything and cook on low for 8 hours. Slice meat thinly, or pull apart with a fork. Serve with sauce and a nice crusty bread. Leftovers – if you have any – will be even more delicious the second day.





Feel free to add any veggies you prefer, such as turnips or parsnips instead of or in addition to carrots and potatoes. Veggies like green beans, corn or peas can be added for the last hour or so of cooking.





My recipe is modified from the original recipe by Alton Brown “Good Eats” and can be found at http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/…
