Alright, so there wasn't a whole lot of direction with this recipe and being a first time crock-pot user in addition to being a first time chili maker-- I've gotta say-- it wasn't bad.<br/><br/>I didn't add peppers and made my own style of this recipe-- which was pretty fantastic (but possibly more tomato sauce needed to be added)--<br/><br/>I added two cloves of garlic, did not have red beans or mixed peppers so did not add them-- but did have perfectly ripe tomatoes (two huge ones, so I used them), I added one jalapeño pepper and one serrano pepper, in addition to adding cayenne pepper and curry. I was moderately liberal with both of the spices. I put it in a crock pot for two hours at low-medium heat, stirring occasionally (while I was doing household things) and then left it in a crockpot (with heat off) for one more hour. I then had enough that I was able to freeze one bag and am going to have this other one for the next week or so.<br/><br/>I would recommend *real* tomato sauce/using about 2-3 small cans of tomato sauce or 1 1/2 tomato sauce. GOOD RECIPE. THANK YOU.
