Chili is a great dish for a cold Winter day. Not only will it smell great while cooking; it will warm you from the inside out. Chili made in the Crock-Pot is easy and delicious. This is another recipe I've made for years. You can vary it if you want. I have varied it over the years, but this recipe seems to be the one we like now.
