A slightly different approach to the traditional chili! Cannot wait to
try it!

favorite powders!

            1/2 Onion, sliced into large chunks

                1 15 oz can Chili beans
                 1 Tbs Chili powder
                1 tsp Cayenne pepper
              1 tsp Black ground pepper
                  1 Tbs Cinnamon
             1 tsp Garam masala (optional)
              1/2 tsp Chinese hot chili oil
               1/4 cup Honey (optional)

                                                DIRECTIONS

                                        In a large skillet, brown the
ground beef.
                                       Drain fat. With slotted spoon,
scoop the
                                         beef and onions into a 5 qt.
crockpot.

                                         Add the onion chunks, diced
green
                                        pepper, tomato sauce, diced or
stewed
                                        tomatoes and both varieties of
canned
                                           beans. Mix until well
blended.

                                       Add the spices and chili oil
next, adjusting
                                         the measures to suit your
taste... and
                                             tolerance. Mix well again.

                                       Turn the crockpot on 'low' and
simmer for
                                        at least 4 hours. (Our chef will
usually
                                       simmer his chili overnight.)
During the last
                                        hour of cooking, before serving,
add the
                                        optional honey and continue
cooking.

                                        Serve in bowls, or 'Cincinnati'
style as a
                                       topping for spaghetti. Either
way, you can
                                       also sprinkle grated cheese on
top, too, as
                                                  a garnish.
