No Bean Slow Cook Chili

Submitted by Chef #249577

"This is a great recipe to set up in the morning and eat when you get home from work. I made this intentionally because I do not like beans in my chili. You can also make it mild to hot depending on the kind and amount of chili powder and the addition of Louisiana Hot Sauce. I usually add a mixture of medium and hot chili powders. The chilies can be optional, but the morita chilies are required to give the chili a nice subtle smoky flavor."

I was looking for a quick and easy no bean chili when I found this and decided to try it. I followed the recipe as it calls (minus the dried and anaheim's) and it seemed to carry a strong tomato flavor as well as being kinda on the watery side. To counter that, I bumped up the spices some and left the lid off till the water evaporated enough to the thickness we like. DH says it's a "do again", but next time I think I'll use less tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing. :)
