This delicious chili is simple to make and requires just a few ingredients. Don't let the small amounts of spices fool you - this chili has more heat than you might expect it to! My dad, who loves chili, describes it as a "slow burn" - as you continue to eat, the heat becomes more obvious. Hence the name of the recipe, Slow Burn Chili!

2.25 pounds ground beef
Two 29 oz. cans tomato sauce
One 15 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Begin by cooking the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain and discard fat. Place cooked meat in crock pot with remaining ingredients and stir until well combined. Cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. It will be good to go in 4 hours, but if you have the time (or the patience) to give it a little more time, do, as the longer everything simmers together the better it gets! Serve topped with a sprinkle of grated cheese and crushed tortilla chips if desired.
