<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Cheeeeeeers everybody, and Happy Hump Day.<br /><br />Y’know?  Now that football season is in full swing and Lady Autumn is here with her cooler temps, many folks will be throwing Saturday and/or Sunday football parties in their homes.<br /><br />Along with the typical chips, dips, wings, and the like, a great football party can be made even more rollicking with some awesome, crowd pleasing chili.<br /><br />I plan on making chili in a couple of weeks when I take a Saturday off to enjoy a full day of College Football.  It is an easy, and uber-tasty crock pot chili.<br /><br />Here’s what <i>Easy Five Bean Crockpot Chili</i> ala Matt-Man entails…<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPxTMvq76UpdFH_YKYal4VOzAoVJjLHPxqob77bgyBitLB4ngiVqy3mMwJIkPpJZ2xFr7ZFQpavuohFcvqKeJO5OZJPkzmYk4Hhyphenhyphen3TNvUsNQKrXg0_UeaGi6wjgMvEei3dM20rmpafWO7Z/s1600/Chili+Beans.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPxTMvq76UpdFH_YKYal4VOzAoVJjLHPxqob77bgyBitLB4ngiVqy3mMwJIkPpJZ2xFr7ZFQpavuohFcvqKeJO5OZJPkzmYk4Hhyphenhyphen3TNvUsNQKrXg0_UeaGi6wjgMvEei3dM20rmpafWO7Z/s400/Chili+Beans.JPG" width="305" /></a></div><br />Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Dark Red Kidney Beans, Northern, Black Beans, Lima Beans, and Light Red Kidney Beans...If you’d like, which I do from time to time is replace the one of the kidney beans with butter beans.  But anyhoo…<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnokiBG7WJkvxuPuFOcypo79YSRdvvpMiEQiLkEBRyRnB-E8sc_4MDkoA7kANJYWQaXMRaPegU0zPQTL60tM60ITU7P7VcbgURPI4JFku-wMd-kAAJz5ZTbbwAdcOKLZVQszrlUkbcRj6g/s1600/Spices.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnokiBG7WJkvxuPuFOcypo79YSRdvvpMiEQiLkEBRyRnB-E8sc_4MDkoA7kANJYWQaXMRaPegU0zPQTL60tM60ITU7P7VcbgURPI4JFku-wMd-kAAJz5ZTbbwAdcOKLZVQszrlUkbcRj6g/s400/Spices.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />Not too many spices...Chili Powder, Paprika, Oregano, Garlic, and a secret one which is not shown that replaces Cumin...Liquid Smoke.  Liquid Smoke makes everything better.  A few tablespoons of that into the mix, and bar the door Katy, it’s a TOUCHDOWN!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZwiAGYn1Y4SmK1EKQFIyAr-waS2_OWtynB-7d-zgFcToErCGP4kdSx33Ke3t1Er4nn0ZTEDIKE9_QcTPc62W8R4NUdp3kDGEZCCIvnWivLHpQAr2RqkCi5IO9dKthOYJrI485q-tU9L2/s1600/Onions+and+Peppers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZwiAGYn1Y4SmK1EKQFIyAr-waS2_OWtynB-7d-zgFcToErCGP4kdSx33Ke3t1Er4nn0ZTEDIKE9_QcTPc62W8R4NUdp3kDGEZCCIvnWivLHpQAr2RqkCi5IO9dKthOYJrI485q-tU9L2/s320/Onions+and+Peppers.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />These are da bomb!! Frozen and already diced onions and bell peppers. Fresh may be best, but too many of us end up wasting them.  So, this an inexpensive and practical way to go.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnRvVK3w3K7IP1Tl9yIMBHJFhszd96xklpmTxGDZPs67eDjcq_rryFabTse2EbZI7x9UTBbUM8399KglC-wr0zpZxzcBtk37V2uAxQNGvluwOsFcQ9cRA6xyAuFnrHpmLlwqycPT4jJg0/s1600/Chili+Meat.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnRvVK3w3K7IP1Tl9yIMBHJFhszd96xklpmTxGDZPs67eDjcq_rryFabTse2EbZI7x9UTBbUM8399KglC-wr0zpZxzcBtk37V2uAxQNGvluwOsFcQ9cRA6xyAuFnrHpmLlwqycPT4jJg0/s400/Chili+Meat.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />The MEAT!! Two pounds of ground beef, and one pound of sausage which I will slightly brown off with Worcestershire Sauce prior to crocking it. I also add real bacon pieces.<br /><br />I would use REAL bacon, but I cannot bring myself to use sliced bacon for this. Sliced bacon stands on its own, and should be consumed that way!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt7xzeRfOEQ7tNSNrbikpy3aAlfTA1piQITAUaqrzW4i2nlKheIgbLOynbG0b_eRy1MhWJU8vlQmOEGuDKhBjhgNbglTVJfs13zU3ZehePf2ZyhvnEXE-OOTG83ilefmwqYUeWxvX5yIP7/s1600/Crockpot.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt7xzeRfOEQ7tNSNrbikpy3aAlfTA1piQITAUaqrzW4i2nlKheIgbLOynbG0b_eRy1MhWJU8vlQmOEGuDKhBjhgNbglTVJfs13zU3ZehePf2ZyhvnEXE-OOTG83ilefmwqYUeWxvX5yIP7/s400/Crockpot.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />The cookery...or, is that, crockery? Anyhoo. This is my newest crockpot. Isn't she sexy and voluptuous?<br /><br />I call her, Samantha. Samantha came with a 2, 4, and 6 quart bowl. I always use the 4 quart bowl.  The 2 is too small, and the 6 quart bowl, I only use when cooking up meth, so it may have toxic residue in it.<br /><br />There you have it. After six to eight hours of simmering, Samantha will be ready to yield her juicy, meaty, and delicious wares.<br /><br />A great accompaniment with the chili is <i>Cheesy Onion Cornbread</i>…<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZybnNG2Y5iw22sE6a_Of1QHUk-WAyb1bEPBR2xuWsN1-wIGClyRWoTHm23T5Z2G4084AVWs99quisCh2q_6nkgRhgKvVkNq6uCAMxNbAGUT_T1_9hDnXdcjL6gDzuitmkVqfXAZBHMWIP/s1600/Green+Onion+Cornbread.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZybnNG2Y5iw22sE6a_Of1QHUk-WAyb1bEPBR2xuWsN1-wIGClyRWoTHm23T5Z2G4084AVWs99quisCh2q_6nkgRhgKvVkNq6uCAMxNbAGUT_T1_9hDnXdcjL6gDzuitmkVqfXAZBHMWIP/s400/Green+Onion+Cornbread.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />Just prepare a box of any inexpensive cornbread mix per instructions, but add some of the frozen onions and bell pepper, along with shredded cheese of your choice and voila!!  Rustic goodness in its most delicious form…<br /><br />Your friends, fans, and fellow football watchers will give you the game ball with two thumbs up.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtmst_YPjUgU4LoLsfN92MQZAb7OqFKe7-oSU4NL9AwLNgFoNVR3oMogUqqwiDsQ4e0wnv1FgzBYnbMIt5SLAJO-pWubv-mSkX9yA1bF8ynXpHdq-z4NEkO1snsC_9xT8oE5Hj8zA2-fNu/s1600/Sexy+Chili.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtmst_YPjUgU4LoLsfN92MQZAb7OqFKe7-oSU4NL9AwLNgFoNVR3oMogUqqwiDsQ4e0wnv1FgzBYnbMIt5SLAJO-pWubv-mSkX9yA1bF8ynXpHdq-z4NEkO1snsC_9xT8oE5Hj8zA2-fNu/s400/Sexy+Chili.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><i>Five Bean Crockpot Chili</i> and <i>Cheesy Onion Cornbread</i>…Easy and delicious, just like me.<br /><br /><i>Cheers!!</i><br /><br />Matt-Man<br /><br /><a href="mailto:mattmaniws@ymail.com">mattmaniws@ymail.com</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/MattMan_IWS" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">@mattmaniws</span></a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mattmaniws" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">My Facebook Page</span></a> </div>
