• Cook the chili: While the vegetables are cooking, to the slow cooker add the tomatoes, chili powder, bay leaf, cumin, allspice, red pepper flakes, and 2 cups of water; stir to combine. Add the vegetables to the bowl of meat and stir to combine, then add to the slow cooker. Stir in the vinegar. Cover and set the cooker to low; cook for about 8 hours. Check after a couple of hours.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with onion powder & garlic.
• Place browned meat & the remaining ingredients (except beans) into the crockpot.
• Stir to ensure all ingredients are incorporated (mixed well).
• Cook on Low 6-10 Hours.
• Add Beans to the Chili 1/2-1 hour before the end of cooking (long enough to heat them through).
• Special Note: I have added the complete 6oz can of tomato paste (so as not to waste it) with no issues. You may want to add a bit more water if you do use the whole can. Also, I have used just kidney beans or just pintos or both (for a realy hearty chili). This is one of those recipes you can play around with and have little ill-effects.
• Also, I like to top ours with fresh grated cheddar cheese & a dollip of sour cream immediately before serving.
