Chili {Crockpot}

It has been crazy, crazy cold. We got back home on Monday from 80° South Florida weather for 11 days, so this is quite a shock to the system. It was 14° yesterday with a windchill of -2°. I know you folks in the North have no pity on me, but I’ll just say I don’t know how you Northerners do it. So anyway, with all this cold I decided chili and cornbread waffles would be warm and comforting. If you’re having to brave the cold like I am, you should give this chili a try!
