Rather than browning the ground beef and onions, I defrosted in the microwave until it was warm throughout, then tossed it in the crock. I stirred up the beans and meat well before adding the tomatoes and sauce, to break the beef up a bit. It gave the beef a very fine texture, very crumbled, like the beef at Taco Bell.

I have seen other similar chili recipes that recommend cooking it on low for 8 hours - could I just cook it on high for 4 hours? Can you cut the time in half on most recipes by turning the slow cooker on high?

I want to try this one out this week but was wondering how long to cook it if I don't use beans at all, (my husband doesn't like them in chili)and use ground turkey instead. Would 4 hours on low be okay since the meat will be cooked all it needs to do is simmer?<br /><br />Thanks!!<br />Briar Oak WifeBriar Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846617194108308127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-17545365308948651782009-04-23T13:35:00.000-07:002009-04-23T13:35:00.000-07:00Rosie is right.
