Yummy Chili

2 garlic cloves

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion, diced

2 bell peppers, diced

1 tsp. oregano

1 Tbls. cumin

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 Tbls. chili powder

1 tsp. salt

8-oz. can of tomato sauce

1 can pinto beans

1 can kidney beans

1 can black beans

1 large can Rotel

1/4 C. masa (corn flour)

1. Brown the ground beef with the garlic

2. While that is browning, put the onion, peppers, spices, salt, tomato sauce, beans (including the liquid), and Rotel (including the liquid) into the crock pot.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the masa with 1/2 C. water (this ingredient helps thicken the chili and adds a great flavor).

4. Add the browned ground beef mixture to the crock pot when done.

5. Stir it all together, then stir in the masa mixture.

6. I cooked mine on low for about 8 hours, but I'm sure you could cook it on high for a shorter time as well.
