Would you believe it if I told you that it only took me 10 minutes of active prep time to make last night’s delicious chili recipe? I threw the ingredients in my crock pot before I left for work and came home to a delicious smelling house and warm food. Note: if your crock pot does not have an automatic switch to turn from low to warm, you will need to make this on a day where you can manually turn it off after six hours.
