1lb hamburger brown in a pan w/2 garlic cloves & one med sized onion. Once browned you can either 1) through into crockpot or 2) cook on stove (depends on how much time you have).
Drain the grease off of the meat, add in two celery stalks (chopped), 1 can stewed tomatoes, 2 tbsp sugar, chili powder, salt & pepper to taste. Let simmer at least on hour (on the stove) or leave in crockpot. Add in 1 can of kideny beans (drained) simmer 15 more minutes & serve hot. This receipe makes about 5 cups cooked chili, perfect for just the hubby and me.
Super easy and cheap and super yummy!
