I know everyone has a slow cooker chili recipe that they say is the best... Well here is another one that I am adding to the list. I believe this one carries a good challenge to all of those out there. This has been a favorite always of my family and friends, so let me know what you think and let's create a melting pot for the perfect slow cooker chili dish. Serve topped with sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped chives, hot sauce, and sliced jalapenos (or habanero if you like the heat).
