This is still in the crockpot, but I can tell it's a winner. Consistent sampling will do that! Very unique, almost smoky flavor. And, yes, it does seem to come out just fine in the crockpot. I have the lid ajar right now, to let it thicken just a bit near the end of the cooking time, but that's just personal preference.

The Mikes Hard Limeaid is surely the secret indredient. This is the absolute best Chili me and my family have ever tasted!!! And we come from a long line of chili makers. You will not be disappointed!!
