Hearty Chili (Slow Cooker)

Chili is one of Nick's favorite things to eat.  I've been making this recipe for years.  It's perfect if you're entertaining for a football game, especially.  Over the years, I feel like I've gotten it down to the easiest possible recipe I have and it's one of our favorite things to eat in the winter.  Plus, it's easy to freeze and serve again.
