MEL'S DINER CHILI RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Brown the beef, onion and garlic. Drain and rinse under hot water. Add all the other ingredients. Simmer for a few hours or toss it in the crockpot and cook it on low for 5 or 6 hours. I didn't have much time, so mine only cooked 45 minutes or so. It was still yummy.
