Crockpot Chili
This is my new favorite chili recipe. Cooking the spices before putting it all in the Crock Pot seems to really bring out the flavor. It isn't overly hot, but it has a lot of flavor. Cook the black beans the day ahead, so you're ready to just throw them in the mix. If you can find no salt added black beans like the ones from Eden Organic, you can substitute two cans of those. If you use a leaner cut of beef than the stew meat, the fat and calorie content will be much lower.
