Ingredients:

 
  • 1 pound lean ground beef, 85% to 90% lean
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with onion and garlic
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 envelope McCormick chili seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder or to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  

 

Directions:
 

  1. Brown the ground beef with the onion. Drain.
  2. Transfer the ground beef and onion mixture along with the remaining ingredients to slow cooker; stir to blend.
  3. Cover the pot and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
  4. Serve in heated bowls with hot cornbread and butter on the side.

 

Notes


For thicker chili, add a few tablespoons of cornmeal about 30 minutes before it's ready.
Top your chili off with freshly baked cornbread croutons. Toss about 2 cups of cubed cornbread with 1/4 cup of melted butter and a tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Spread the cubes out on a large baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 450 F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are browned.
