A good basic chili with which the Jansens grew up.
---Meat---
1 lb. ground beef
2 onions, chopped
salt, pepper
---Beans---
1 can chili beans
2 can kidney beans
1 large can tomatoes (whole) - I used fire roasted and it was good.
---Spices---
1 T sugar
2 t chili powder
2 T chipotle powder
1/4 t ground oregano
1 t cumin
1 t basil
---Bonus Item---
1 T dried epazote (herb that reduces flatulence) - available at Penzey's
Brown meat and put in crock pot. Add all the other items. Low for all day. Note that a double recipe does not fit in a large crock pot. Also, I added the chipotle powder (and changed to fire roasted tomatoes) from my Mom's original recipe. I have had good luck with Penzey's Chili 3000, 6000 and 9000 instead of all of the spices, but the spices are the original version per Mom.
