Slow Cooker Mexican Chili

Slow cooked ground beef with chili beans, whole tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped vegetables and minced chilies. Chili is seasoned with salt, pepper, sugar, bay leaf, dried marjoram, and minced clove. Put this dish together in the morning, turn on the slow cooker and enjoy this evening. The chili flavors get a chance to meld while slow cooking, making this a very smooth chili with nice spice and great heat. Leftovers are fantastic and make a great condiment for chili burgers and hotdogs.

This is the perfect chili to serve as an appetizer, or as a lunch or dinner main or side dish.

Cook's Notes:
It may be necessary to add a little water to this chili to insure it does not dry out.
