Crockpot Fireball Chili

Very easy to make and it turned out so well I thought I'd share. First post and all that. Here's hoping formatting looks good.

Crockpot Fireball Chili.

Prep Time: 15 Mins.

Cook Time: 4-6 Hours (4 on high, 6 on medium)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Ground Beef

• 1 can (16oz) Bushes Chili Beans (kidney beans in chili sauce)

• 1 can (16oz) Bushes Pinto Beans (drain the liquid)

• 1 cup of Sweet Corn

• 2/3 cup of Fireball Whiskey

• 1/4 White Onion

• 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar

• 1 teaspoon Salt (I was lazy and used garlic salt)

• 1 clove of Garlic

• 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

• 1 jar (14-16oz) Medium Chunky Salsa (This might be cheating but it makes some good chili.)

• Cayenne powder (Seasoned to taste)

• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon (My secret ingredient, the cinnamon adds a ton of depth to the flavor of the chili.)

• Any Veggies you got laying around? Might as well add them. This is just what I had on hand at the time. Mushrooms are a great addition as well.

Directions:

• In a large pan on the stove brown the ground beef in 1/2 cup of Fireball Whiskey. I seasoned with garlic salt while browning the beef as well.

• Once meat is browned add it and the contents of the pan to the crockpot. If you want to be fancy you can deglaze the pan but I was lazy.

• Add the beans, onion, corn, and salsa. Drain the beans that are not in chili sauce before adding.

• I seasoned at several steps through the process and did not measure exactly so I'd reckon that you could add half the spices now and half later. I also added a shot of Fireball at this stage.

• Set a timer for 2 Hours and set your Crockpot to Medium or High. Mine only has low or high so I had it on high and after 2 hours the edges got a little burned so I would recommend medium or stirring more often.

• After 2 Hours I came back and added more of the spices and another shot of Fireball

• Another 2 Hours later I came back and added another shot of Fireball and seasoned to taste.

• And 2 Hours later it is ready. If you did Medium heat then around 6 hours total is the correct time. High heat will be closer to 4 hours total but you will need to stir and season more often.
