No worries Bow hunter, a couple of tips if you plan to follow the recipe on the label:
- I use a 6 quart slow cooker and double the recipe.
- Instead of 1 cup if water, empty all the liquid from the canned beans into the pot, it makes a great base stock. You can use the beans later or toss them if you dont like beans in your chili.
- If you chop the peppers and onions into smaller pieces, they will cook down and melt away into the recipe.
- Start off with 3 TBSP (6 for double recipe) of seasoning and add more to taste from there. It will most likely need a little salt.
- I always add hot sauce to kick it up a notch.
- You can add a can of beef broth if you want a more hearty taste or if you plan to use the chili for enchilada sauce.
- The longer you cook it the better it gets.
Enjoy. My favorite is chili, crackers, shredded cheese and hot sauce.
