Chili Cookin' Day!

It has been several years since I last made chili at home. 

I think the last time was when I lived in Tarzana, California.

Since prices are so high for groceries, cooking chili in the slow cooker will provide for several meals when done. 

As a base, I use Carroll Shelby Texas Chili Mix. I add my own ingredients to it including bell pepper, onion, kidney beans, tomatoes and beer. 

Nice spicy hot chili sounds food for this cold (around 34° now) day.
