Easy Peasy Amazing Chili

Tonight, I made The Best Chili in the History of the Universe. I took a recipe from my father-in-law and tweaked it a bit for our taste. We love spicy (G ate two bowls of it), and it has a bit of a kick. I had a few Twitter requests for the recipe...and like your fairy godmother, I'm here to make your wishes come true.

1 lb ground beef (do yourself a favor and just try 100% grass-fed beef. It's amazing.)
1 tube of "hot" pork sausage of your choice

Brown, remove grease, and throw in a crock pot with:

3 cans of kidney beans (we love Trader Joe's organic beans)
2 cans of organic diced and fire roasted tomatoes with organic chiles
1 small can of tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
cumin to taste (I think I used about a tablespoon)
pepper to taste
onion salt to taste

Cook on low for at least 3 hours...the longer the better. Enjoy!
