Ingredients
Dark red kidney beans, (well drained and rinsed)Extra Lean Ground beef (the leanest available) also OPTIONAL!! If you want veggie style....Tomato PasteDiced tomato's (prefer petite diced)Misc herbs & Spices as you prefer!!
Open all the cans of the beans and dup into a colander in the sink, rinse REALLY well to help remove all the extra salt. Let sit and drain while preparing the ground meat. Cook meat in a skillet untill COMPLETELY cooked. I also will add any spices I want to add into the meat while it is cooking... While the meat is cooking I finish rinsing and draining the beans and dump them into the crockpot (I have a rather large one!) and put the heat setting on LOW to start the crock pot proscess. When the meat is completely cooked, drain off all of the excess grease and fat, into one of the empty cans and NOT DOWN YOUR KITCHEN SINK DRAIN!!!!!!! After draining dump the meat into the crockpot. Now I add the tomato paste to this mixture and stir all three together. Then add the diced tomatoes, and stir all together gently. I like to cook this on low actually overnight. I will make before bed and then let it cook untill dinner the following day. I prefer the chili when all the flavors have time to infuse into each other, and the beans get softer also.
