Salsa Chili

This is my new favorite way to make chili.  It's a little sweeter and chunkier than regular chili, and like all chili's easy to make in the crock pot!

1 pound of ground meat (we prefer deer) but you can use beef or turkey
1 pk cocktail weenies
1 chili seasoning pack
1/4c water
(2) 15 oz  cans of chili beans
(1) 15oz can of petite diced tomatoes
15-20oz of your favorite salsa- I prefer fresh salsa, either homemade or salsa you can buy in the produce aisle
Mrs. Dash Chili seasoning
1/2 tbsp sugar

To Garnish
-Sour Cream
-Cheddar Cheese
-Crackers
-Diced onions


Brown the meat in a skillet and drain.  Cut the cocktail weenies in half and add to skillet, stir in chili seasoning packet with 1/4 c water, cook until simmer stirring constantly.  In the crock pot add, chili beans, tomatoes and salsa.  Add the meat from skillet.  Season to taste with Mrs. Dash (how spicy do you want it?)  and add sugar.  Turn crock pot on low and let sit for 4 hours or High and let sit for 1 hour.
Garnish with your favorites and enjoy!
