Made it in the crock pot. Used dried pinto beans. Absolutely delicious!!

I used a # of the OAMC Master HB Mix and threw, a can of kidney beans, a can of chili beans, and a can of rotel, and left out the oregano. A nice quick fix.

Who knew you could whip up a quick and delicious chili with a jar of Ragu or other pasta sauce? I love the addition of the extra beans--1 pound of meat was plenty. This is a great recipe when you're hungry for lunch or dinner, and you want something right away. Made for P-A-R-T-Y 2009. Thanks Janem!

Extremely easy route to a decent offering of chili. I did not have any garlic and I thought the end product needed a little more 'heat' but my family loved it. Serve this with chopped cilantro and sour cream over rice.
