All you need is a can opener

Have I ever mentioned how much I love to make chili? It is so easy! Here is what you need:

One large can of Crushed Tomatoes
2 cans of beans (I'd recommend one be kidney beans, and the other a bean of your choice)
1 can of mushrooms
1 can of tomato paste (optional for a more tomatoey chili)
chili powder (not going to specify amt here - everyone likes their chili different!)
a kind of frozen vegetable (I recommend corn or peas)
ground beef

Okay, so I lied. You will need a little more than a can opener. You will also need these kitchen appliances: a slow cooker, a spoon to measure out chili powder, a frying pan for the beef, a spatula to stir the beef in the frying pan and a ladle to stir the chili.

Instruction: brown the beef in the frying pan. Open and dump all cans into your slow cooker (no need to drain). Add ground beef, frozen vegetable and chili power to taste. Stir and let cook for as long as possible (I recommend 4-8 hours).

You're done! Chili is the easiest thing in the world to make. For an exciting way to eat it try putting it on fries or tortilla chips with some cheese. :D
