Crock-o Chili
This chili is better than the chilly weather kind,bugh 

2 -3 cans [~15 oz each can] beans ex: kidney; pinto; black whatever (drain/rinse)
1- 1 1/2 lb chopped meat (beef; chicken; turkey; veal; pork) or no meat.
1 small onion peel and dice
1 medium red bell pepper diced or green pepper or both
1 28 oz can stewed or diced tomatoes
1 6 oz can tomato paste
black pepper; garlic powder; pinch of ginger and some cumin or curry powder if you have it; red pepper flakes if you have it; chili powder to taste.
Bay leaf (don't eat the bay leaf! take it out before you serve the chili)
Brown the meat and drain.
Put everything in the crock pot and mix.
Cover/cook low about 7-8 hours
or High for 3-4.
Too soupy? add 1/4 cup bread crumbs or croutons or toasted bread.
Too "spicey" add a tsp of sour cream to a bowl of the chili
Serve with shredded cheddar cheese and jalapeno on the side.
It's an easy and not spicey chili unless you want it to be.
