• Add all tomato products to pot. Add rice.(note...you will not see the rice when chili is cooked and finished,it's to help make the chili thicker and it seems to add where the meat is gone.
• Add All Spices and the oil add a small amount of water to get all the goodies out of the pan.
• Set Crockpot to high cook for 6/8 hours or longer.The longer it cooks the better. Serve with Corn chip and shredded cheddar. After all this is low in fat so you Can add the little extras.
• If you would like to take this one step more add a Good sloshing of Balsamic....gives this chili more of a kick!
