Three Bean Crockpot Chili

Don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients - you probably have most of them in your pantry and this recipe is very forgiving so if you are missing something just skip it ;)

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb ground beef, cooked and chopped

1 lb ground sausage, cooked and chopped

3 cans beans, drained and rinsed (our favorite is a combo of kidney, black and pinto)

28 oz diced tomatoes, with juice

1 small can chopped green chilis

1 green bell pepper, diced

2 stalks celery, diced

1 onion, diced

2 tsp minced garlic

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 Tbsp liquid smoke

1 bottle beer

1/4 cup chili powder

1 Tbsp white sugar

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 Tbsp dried parsley

Mix all ingredients and cook on low all day in the crockpot. Freezes well and makes fabulous leftovers. ;)
