Expert Tips

(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)

Add some zip to your serving bowls by brushing the edges of the bowls with shortening, butter or margarine then sprinkle with chili powder.

You can also use a 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes instead of the diced tomatoes. Use a spoon to break up the whole tomatoes in the slow cooker.

If you like chili with a little kick, stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) with the cinnamon.

My wife needed to be out of town over night. I made this chili for me and my two kids 7 & 11. I want to have more a meal, so I put it over rice. They told ever body for weeks what daddy made. It was good, but they went a little over board, when they asked there mother, why she couldn't cook like that. We are now eating at least 2 or 3 times a month. It's a great meal for 4 around 12 bucks.

I thought this receipe was delicious. I however, did not add the bell peppers and celery in; it was still very good. The only thing I felt that the "zing" factor was missing. Still very good receipe. I'd recommend to anyone.

Excellent chili! I adapted it slightly by using fresh home grown organically grown tomatoes and peppers. Cut back on the onion and added 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Took it to a family gathering and thought they were going to lick the bowl of the slow cooker.
