Cheeseburger Chili - (Gluten Free)
03:25
Often times, things get so busy around here that we do not leave enough time to cook dinner. Or we become lazy after a long work day and pack up to head to the nearest Tex-Mex joint in Austin. This is the beauty of crock pots. You literally just throw everything in the pot, forget about it for several hours; then come home to a house that smells amazing and dinner is finished, with minimal effort. This crock pot wonder is called Cheeseburger Chili. It does not have the traditional cheeseburger ingredients, but it taste like one. I promise. Your taste buds (and waistline) will thank you for this healthier option.
