Dad's Chili

Submitted by CoreyAnn

"I am not a big lover of chili but growing up I always loved my Dad's chili. I didn't have the recipe when he died and after lots of digging in my memories and trial and errors I finally figured it out. It's a 'sweet' chili rather than a spicy one but could very easily be spiced up. It always gets rave reviews whenever I make it. I use a packet of McCormick's Original Chili Seasoning for seasoning and it's awesome!"

Crock pot chili is a staple at our house and this one was super easy and indeed a little on the sweet side. I did 4 servings although I used an entire green pepper and ended up adding an extra can of tomatoes because it didn't seem like it would be enough for us. Still is was very hearty and DH was wondering when we'd be making it again! Served with recipe#340439 - Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2009.
