Waiting out the storm "Crock pot Chili" part 2

Hello fellow foodies and food lovers.  Today's adventure was low key and laid back, but still packed a bit of a punch.  Was warm and comforting on this rainy day, and though it did not turn out quite the way i wanted still a success.

  Today's crock pot chili turned out more like a soup.  However soup or chili the flavor was outstanding. Beans gave this dish a creamy smooth texture with out using milk or cream.  The chilies played a sneak attack, unnoticeable at first bite then in the back of your throat is this silent heat.

Now if you really want this to turn out a chili, here are some idea's i would use the next time i made this dish.  All crock pots are different so get to know your crock pot, as odd as that seems.  The recipe calls for 4 cup of broth and 1 cup of water. Cut the broth down to 3 1/2 cups broth and omit the water all together.  Remember in the end if it is too thick for your liking you can add liquid, it is hard to think-in once you have too much liquid.  Now if you all ready have to much liquid you can try taking the lid off and cooking it for a while, and if that does not get it thick enough for you, you can make a slurry and add it to the "chili".  A slurry is a mixture of broth or water and cornstarch.

So until next time remember play with your food and have fun.
