Olive Chili

Today was a "chili" day for August, so we had chili for supper tonight. I hope "You Love" this chili as much as "Olive" this chili...(super cheesy, I know, but really there are olives in it). You may be thinking..."Olives? And Chili? And Mushrooms??" (that's what Trevor says about it), but I promise you it's good! It's a sweet chili, because my fam is pretty wussy when it comes to spice, and it's loaded with a lot of 'chunky' stuff!

Ingredients:

1 can tomatoes

1 can kidney beans, drained

1 can cannellini beans, drained (for these first 2 cans of beans you can use any kind you like!)

1 can Bush's pork n' beans

1 lb browned hamburger

1 medium onion, chopped

green/black olives or both

mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp cumin

1 1/2 tsp chili powder (more to taste)
pepper to taste

salt to taste (I usually leave this out)

shredded cheese/sour cream for topping (optional)

Directions:

1. Throw it all in the crock pot!! Put on Low for @ least 8 hrs (8-12hrs)

We had this chili with some sweet corn from my brother-in-law's parent's garden and "Old Mom's Cukes." -->(Recipe for the cukes is posted earlier)
