It actually got cool enough this past weekend we did a crockpot chili.
One white onion diced, one lb ground beef, one can Rotel, one can diced tomatoes, one small can tomato sauce, one can chili beans, one packet low-sodium chili seasoning. I caramelize the onion first, then add the beef. Once browned, I add the seasoning, then dump in everything else and bring it to a boil. Then I let simmer for a minimum of 15 min. But in the case of this weekend, I just left it on warm for a couple of hours and then it was ready to eat whenever we were hungry. I like to add shredded cheese to mine. Hubby likes to add the Stevia brown sugar to his.
