Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Combine with all remaining ingredients except cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in 3,5 quart slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. In small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and mix well. Stir into chili, then turn heat to high and cook for 15-20 minutes or until chili is thickened. Serve immediately.
3. Note: I usually leave out the cornstarch, chili powder, and cumin and buy one of those chili-seasoning packets at the store. Does the same thing.
