The Ultimate Slow Cooked Chili
This ultimate slow-cooked chili recipe is always a little bit of experimentation. It has a lot of flavor and is one of my favorite dishes. There is always a little give and take, but here is my honed recipe with the (staple) list of ingredients. Serve the chili in a bowl on a cold night or spread over white or brown rice. Always sprinkle generously with Cheddar cheese, crumbled tortilla chips, and maybe a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
