Chili

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
14-16 oz. can tomatoes drained
1 medium onion chopped
1 garlic drove
2 TB chili powder
¼ tsp. pepper

Instructions:
3 ½ cups water to boiling, add 1 ½ cup dried beans. (Sort as you add. Remove rocks, moldy beans...) Add slowly so water continues to boil. (This eliminates the need to presoak the beans.) Add 2 tsp. salt. Lower heat and simmer while you eat lunch. After lunch add above ingredients. Stir to break up raw meat and tomatoes. Heat Crock-pot to 350°F. Cook covered for at least 4 hours. This doesn’t need to watched or stirred. Makes 4 large servings.
