I slow cooker mine usually before I leave to work and leave it on low all day long...I use McCormicks w/ Onion seasoning packet, 1 or 2 lb of Burger (prefer deer and cook with an onion), 1 can of Kidney Beans (drain liquid), 1 can of Red Beans (drain liquid), and 1 can of Chili beans (usually mild and keep the liquid), 1 can of sliced/diced tomatoes, 1 can of stewed tomatoes (or garden mators)... And if liquid is needed add tomato sauce. But don't add too much as it will juice up over the cooking process...
Well, I added some garlic and paprika to the already made chili and it seemed to help a bit. Helped out just enough for me to overeat and get a little pussgut for the rest of the day.

Consistency should be thin. Makes a very large pot.
Do a lot of you guys use celery? The only veggies that make it in ours are the beans, onions, peppers and the tomatoes we sauce.
I usually vary a boilermaker recipe I found online . Lil woman got me a 10 quart crock for my birthday for BIG batches. Freeze leftovers in quart bags for lunches later. I throw in a lot of stuff. Usually start with 48oz of prego skettie sauce and close to a gallon of Roma's out of the freezer as a base .Beer is definitely a plus.
I use celery as well. Let's see..... Canned tomatoe sauce with no seasoning from our garden, McCormick chili powder, kidney beans(not too many), onion, red pepper, green pepper, garlic, Hamburg, Sweet Italian Sausage, Salt and Pepper. Sometimes I add Canadian Bacon. Seems like I'm forgetting something.
