Story
|
This is my use-it-up chili. I love being able to throw whatever I have in a crock pot, including leftover bottles of barbecue sauce, and just letting it simmer the day away. The barbecue sauce adds a definate 'zing' to this chili which makes it especially suitable for game-day with sides of pickles, chips, and plenty of beer or other super cold beverage of choice. Enjoy!
