The Most Amazing Chili EVER!

I am NOT a chili fan. I have had one other kind of chili that I though was "good".  But a week ago Mr. Amazing, the twins, and I were invited over to our favorite friend's house to enjoy some chili. I went into the evening hoping it would be "good" chili. I was so shocked and surprised to find it was AMAZING CHILI!!!! I asked her for her recipe right away, it was truly the most delicious chili I ever had in my life!!!! So whether you're a chili fan or not, give this a try you won't be sorry!!!! It's super simple to make and the taste is out of this world!!!!


Ingredients:

2lbs of Ground Beef OR Ground Turkey 
4TBLS Chili Powder
3TBLS Sugar
1tsp Salt
1tsp Oregano
1 Finely Chopped Yellow Onion
1 Finely Chopped Green Bell Pepper
1 - 15 oz Can of Diced Tomatoes
1 - 15 oz Can of Rotel
2 - 8oz Cans of Tomato Sauce
1 Cup of Water
2 - Cans of Red Kidney Beans (optional, Mr. Amazing says beans have no place in Chili, I think they're delicious)

Directions:
Brown the two pounds of meat in a frying pan on the stove. (I have had it both ways (ground beef and ground turkey) the chili taste is so rich in flavor I couldn't taste a difference in the meat.Ground Turkey does take off some calories of course.) Drain the meat very well, you don't want to add that grease to your recipe. 

In a Crockpot add all ingredients EXCEPT the beans. Cook all ingredients on HIGH for 6 hours. Then add the beans and cook for two more hours. Whether or not you add the beans, cook on HIGH for 8 hours total. 

When the Chili is done turn your Crockpot down to warm. Serve with Sweet Yellow Cornbread. Store leftovers in the fridge in a tightly sealed container for up to five days. 

ENJOY!
