Here is my standby chili recipe. It's actually a Weight Watchers recipe from a while back, but it is by far the best chili I've ever made. It uses brown sugar which gives it just enough sweetness. I usually make it with my southwestern cornbread(recipe below).
Crock Pot Brown Sugar Chili

Serve with cheese, sour cream, and diced tomatoes on top if you like.
Southwestern Cornbread
1 box Jiffy cornbread (plus necessary ingredients noted on box)
1 can southwestern veggie mix: corn, pinto beans, green chiles- you can really use whatever you like here, just peek around the canned veggie aisle to see what combinations are there

Drain the southwestern veggie mix and slowly fold into the cornbread mixture
Cook as directed and serve with butter and honey!
