best chili on the block...

it is official friends...my chili recipe ROCKS!! we headed over to my brother-in-law and sister-in-laws, bob & debbie, and held a chili cook-off! it was so much fun! we each brought a big crock pot full of deliciousness, tasted each chili with expertise and washed it down with yummy Octoberfest beers! after we each tried every chili, we put in a dollar and voted for our favorite. and guess who's chili recipe won...YOURS TRULY!! HOO-RAA!

since all of you blog followers are good people...i am going to share my tasty recipe with you! it is guaranteed to be a hit. and when people ooh and ahh over the chili...feel free to throw in the fact that it is a chili cook-off winner!

INGREDIENTS 2 pounds ground beef

1/2 white onion (diced) 3 cups tomato juice 1 jar salsa 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1 can great northern beans, rinsed and drained 1 can butter beans, rinsed and drained 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 can tomato sauce 1 can tomato paste

1 can shoe peg corn 1 can chopped green chilies 1 package taco seasoning DIRECTIONS In a skillet cook beef and onions over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add remaining ingredients into a crock pot and add in beef and onions when ready. Stir the ingredients. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours in the crock pot or on high for 4 hours. I top mine with sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips. Enjoy!

MY FAVORITE CROCK POT TOOL:

and p.s.: if anyone is interested in my brother-in-law dave's chili recipe...head to your local wendy's. he took the easy way out and went to wendy's (as in the fast food joint) and ordered 8 cups of chili, dumped it into a crock pot and called it is own! however he only got one vote...maybe i should look into selling my recipe to wendy's...hmmmm?!?!?

and i had to throw in a lil' picture of my girls ave & kaiya...

HAPPY CHILI DAY!!
