BIG P'S CLASSIC CHILI
My family loves this recipe. Kid-friendly, great for sleepover nights. The key is to chop all veggies big so the flavors get incorporated but they're able to be picked out by the picky eater. Pair with honey cornbread and call 'come and get it!'

Steps:
- Brown meat, add garlic and onion. Add chili powder and cumin. Heat through.
- In crock pot mix tomatoes, beans, chilies and paste. Add meat mixture.
- Crock on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of chili powder: There are many different types of chili powder available, so it's important to choose one that will give your chili the flavor you want. For a classic chili flavor, use a blend of chili powders that includes ancho, guajillo, and pasilla peppers. If you want a spicier chili, use a blend that includes cayenne pepper or chipotle powder.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your chili the best flavor. Use fresh onions, garlic, peppers, and tomatoes. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, use canned tomatoes that are packed in juice, not water.
- Brown the meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the chili will help to develop its flavor. Brown the meat in a large pot over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the spices and seasonings: Once the meat is browned, add the spices and seasonings to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Add the tomatoes and other liquids: Add the tomatoes, beef broth, and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the chili has thickened.
- Add the beans and corn: Stir in the beans and corn. Cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
- Serve: Serve the chili hot with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, and onions.
