Crock Pot Chili

So many chili recipes. This is a different one from the other I have posted, altho I must say I think the other one is best. But this recipe is easy, and can be simmering all day in a crock pot while everyone is at work for the day. How nice to come home to a meal that cooks itself!! My kids will eat this too. Yum.

With the tomato juice, it is hardly a low sodium meal. So, one can easily opt not to use the tomato juice, instead using freshly squeezed tomato juice, or no salt added diced tomatoes from a can pureed in its juices.

This freezes well.
