Directions:
In a large saucepan or skillet, brown ground beef and ground pork. Season with 1 tsp of pepper and 1/2 tsp of salt.
In the bowl of your slow cooker combine browned meat with all remaining ingredients. Stir to mix everything together.
Cook chili on high heat for 3 hours, stirring every hour.
Serve with your favourite shredded cheese, we like old cheddar cheese.
Combine this delicious chili with Sweet Cornbread for an awesome combination.
