I love that I can put the ingredients in the slow cooker and forget about it for a few hours. If you like your chili thick, you'll enjoy this version.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
2 to 3 hot chili peppers of your choice
3 cans (16 ounces each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

My family loves this. I have small children so I use Banana peppers. It is just the right amount of spice to make everyone happy. I also add a pinch more chili powder than it calls for. All in all this is one of the best chili recipes I have come across.
