Oma's Slow Cooker Easy Chili Recipe 

Here's my slow cooker chili -- just put everything in the slow cooker in the morning and come home to dinner! That's quick prep! 

You can make changes to the main recipe to suit your fancy. Serve it as a soup or thicken to serve it over hot cooked rice. Omit the beans. Add mushrooms (my favorite). Add extra veggies. You choose!
