Ingredients

    30 oz. canned tomatoes (but fresh are better)
    8 oz. canned green chili (again, fresh is better)
    (Can substitute cans of Ro-tel for tomatoes and green chili if desired)
    8 cups of cooked pinto or kidney beans (I like to prepare dry beans, but cans are faster)
    4 cups broth (beef or veggie)
    1 onion, chopped (but add more if desired)
    5 cloves minced garlic
    Chipotle chili powder to taste
    Regular chili powder to taste
    Cumin to taste

Tips

Using canned foods is quicker, but higher in sodium and less tasty. I didn't even try to give quantities for the chili powders and cumin because I like my chili pretty spicy and I'm not sure what others would consider "normal."


Directions

Place ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until it seems done.

If you want / need it faster, put it in a pot on the stove, bring it to a boil, and then turn down to simmer for about half an hour. Simmer longer if you want it thicker.

Serving Size: Makes 10 1.5-cup servings
