I made this in the crockpot and it turned out nicely thick and tasty. It smelled wonderful cooking too! I used one can each of kidney beans and black beans (drained and rinsed) and a Sam Adams winter lager beer, but otherwise followed the recipe.

This was a nice simple chili that I really enjoyed on a cool stormy day. Thanks for sharing, Charmie. Made for Culinary Quest 2.

This was really good and easy to make. It must be a Charmie777 day for me, as this is the second recipe of Charmie's that I've made today. This morning I browned ground beef for this recipe and Recipe #138402. I used Corona beer that we took a teaspoon out of last night for the Recipe #230952 . Served with sour cream and Fritos on the side. Made for ZWT III 2007 - United States Region - Family Pick
