Slow and Comfy Chili

This recipe looks like a lot of work but only takes 20 minutes to prep. Sauté your onions and celery, brown your ground beef right afterwards, open your cans, rinse and drain, measure your spices and literally toss it all into your slow cooker – set on low and go! A great fall or winter meal. Imagine coming back home to a kitchen aroma that whets an appetite and makes you feel really grateful for a warm home and delicious nourishment.
