Jamie's Chili Recipe

This chili recipe may be the best chili I've ever eaten. I left the whole tomatoes pretty chunky but you may cut them up much more if you prefer. I didn't have any sausage so I left that out. I probably put about one fourth cup Chili Powder. You can always put in a smaller amount and taste until you think it's about right. I probably put in about a teaspoon of cumin. I put in a crock pot for about 4 hours. The pot was full. You may need to take some out. This makes a lot of chili. Can be frozen. Enjoy!
