This flavorful, meaty chili is my favorite...and it's so easy to prepare in the slow cooker. It's a great way to serve a crowd without last-minute preparation. I got the idea from my mother, who used her slow cooker often for soups and stews. -Stacy Law, Cornish, Utah

I *love* this recipe. I make it at least twice a month and love to take the leftovers to work for lunch. I highly recommend it.

I made this chili and 5 others for my son's coming home party from Iraq the first time, many many people arrived, this was the first one to go. Others had left overs. Hunters love it as well, have been making it for years.
