3 celery strips/sections, chopped

1 cans dark red kidney beans, NOT drained (15 ounce cans)

1 cans Original Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chili (10 ounce cans)

1 cans stewed tomatoes (15 ounce cans)

2 cans plain tomato sauce (15 ounce cans)

2 packages McCormick Mild Chili Seasoning (1.25 ounce packages)

2 tsp of salt

Pepper to taste

Preparation

Combine all ingredients in a large crock pot / slow cooker on low (INCLUDING ALL THE JUICE I NEVER DRAIN ANY BEANS) Cook on low for 6-8 hours Dig in!! I love to add cheese and sour cream in my chili!! YUM!!!

Few notes - my husband loves alot of meat. I used 2.5 lbs for him. He devoured it however that was just too much meat for me. I prefer to keep it closer to 1 pound.

2nd day is even better!!

Other have said they prefer Pinto beans in theirs. Ranch Style beans could be hard to find but I looked at the top shelf of the beans at my local store. They are beans with other flavorings into it. YUM!!
