What is your favorite Crock pot chili recipe?

[happygal]

I have quiet a few people over for Halloween tomorrow. I thought it be great to have some good Chili after tick or treating.
But I like to make it in a crock pot, since I have a very busy day.
Can you share your recipe's? What do you serve on the side with your chili?
Thank you ;-)

Yum! Now you've got me thinking about making this. You can make this easy crockpot chili with ground turkey or ground beef.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with juice
1 can (16 ounces) pinto beans, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup chunky salsa, your favorite
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1 to 2 tablespoons sliced black olives

Preparation:
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground turkey and onion. Drain off excess fat. Transfer browned mixture to the crockpot with tomatoes, beans, salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Stir gently to blend ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW setting for 5 to 6 hours. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a little shredded cheese and black olive slices.

I like to serve chili with with nice thick chunks of texas toast or cornbread for soaking up the juices.
