EASY CROCK POT CHILI
My latest chili recipe - I've found it tastes best if made the day before. Adjust the heat by using hot, medium or mild picante sauce and taco seasoning (I use hot for both). Red pepper flakes are optional, but I like it hot and use 2 teaspoons.

LEFTOVER PORK TENDERLOIN CROCK POT CHILI
This recipe came out of a need to serve leftover pork tenderloin in a completely different way - my kids hate to eat leftovers of the "exact" same thing they ate the night before. I kept it pretty mild for tender palates, but you could certainly add any type of chiles, hot sauce, etc. Also, for the kids I put it into tortillas with cheese for burritos while my husband and I ate it in bowls as chili. The sky's the limit to the variations

Steps:
- Fry the bacon until it starts to brown, then put it into the crock pot.
- In the bacon drippings, brown the ground beef.
- Put the ground beef, beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, chili powder (In Southern California we have a great variety available, but Gebhardt's would work), and the cayenne into the crock pot with the beef broth.
- Cut the stems off the fresh jalapenos and cut them in two or three chunks.
- place the peppers along with the garlic and whole fresh tomatoes into a food processor and puree the three ingredients.
- Put this into the crock pot, stir to mix and let it all cook for 10-12 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high.
- By making a puree out to of the peppers and garlic, you get a more evenly dispersed blend.
- I used the tomatoes to give some moisture to the puree.
- Serrano chilies are three times hotter than jalapenos so don't let their small size fool you.

No pretense to regional authenticity, but it's the way we like it! You can add more "heat" by increasing the pepper flakes. Goes good with Barb's "recipe #150277". Substitute canned black beans for a change of taste, or use 1 can each of kidney and black beans.

Tips for Making the Best Chili in a Crock Pot
- **Choose the right chili base.** You can use ground beef, turkey, or chicken, or a combination of meats. If you're using ground beef, be sure to brown it well before adding it to the crock pot. - **Add plenty of vegetables.** Onions, peppers, and garlic are all classic chili ingredients, but you can also add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or corn. - **Use a variety of spices.** Chili powder, cumin, and paprika are all essential chili spices, but you can also add other spices like oregano, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder to give your chili a unique flavor. - **Don't forget the beans.** Beans are a classic chili ingredient, and they add protein and fiber to the dish. You can use any type of beans you like, but black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all popular choices. - **Simmer your chili for at least 4 hours.** This will give the flavors time to develop and blend together. You can cook your chili for longer if you like, but 4 hours is the minimum amount of time needed to make a great chili. - **Serve your chili with your favorite toppings.** Sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and chopped cilantro are all popular chili toppings. You can also serve your chili with cornbread, crackers, or rice. ###Conclusion
