Crock Pot Chili and back from christmas break

Hey guys! We are back from christmas break and happy to be home and in my kitchen! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Our break was blessed with time off from work and school, time with family and a fun trip to colorado. Below is a picture of us skiing! I feel so grateful for the time...... and for this delicious chili!

I have been making the same chili for years. It is a basic recipe that is good, but I wanted to try something with a little more depth. This is it! This chili is thicker than most chilies and has a complex flavor. The greatest part is that I can make it in the crock pot, a busy woman's best friend. I hope you try this recipe and let me know what you think. I am happy to be back and look forward to many recipes to come that give your body what it needs to be healthy!
