Chili

1 can mild chili beans
1 can butter beans
1 can dark kidney beans
1 can light kidney beans
1 can of Busch's bake beans
1 lb hamburger
1 large can of crushed tomatoes
DIRECTIONS:
Brown the hamburger. Drain all of the beans expect chili, beans and the baked beans. FYI it has to be Busch's baked beans. Empty cans into the crock pot, place grounded cooked hamburger into the crock pot. Place can of crushed tomatoes into crock pot. Cook on low for 5-8 hours. You could speed up the cooking, but it is better when it sits for a while. Serve with sour cream and cheese.
REVIEWS:
This is my favorite chili. David even said it was better then his moms, which is a BIG surprise. It is not to spicy but not to dull. Really you could put any kind of beans you want into the soup. ENJOY
