Crock Pot Chili

In small bowl, mix spices (flour, sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, basil, salt & pepper, brown sugar. Add / substitute spices as desired - it's your chili after all!

In pan, brown beef. Add hot sauce and a couple shots of beer as desired. To the beef, not your mouth.

Chop onion, mushrooms, pepper/s, and any other veggies of choice. Dice garlic. Save for later.

Drain beans and corn, and hurl them in crock pot. Chuck in sauce and diced tomatoes, too.

When beef is browned, resist urge to pour it directly down your throat. Drain and fling into crock pot.

Add oil to pan and sautee veggies for a few minutes. Toss them all into crock pot.

Lob seasoning mix into crock pot. Feel free to deeply inhale spice aromas first.

Splash beer into crock pot.

Cook on medium to high for 4-8 hours.

Profit.
