If you have a crockpot all chili recipes are simple! That being said... Here's what I do:
Brown: ground beef (1 pound maybe? I dunno, a package)
Cook until translucent: 1 onion, chopped
Dump in pot with:
2 cans tomatoes (chopped, whole, whatever's cheapest) 1 can kidney beans 3 cloves garlic, chopped chili powder to taste and/or chopped up dried chilis a bit of cumin a bit of worcestershire sauce a bit of hot/tabasco sauce
If you're using a slowcooker you can leave it on low overnight or while you're at work... come home to food, it's awesome! On the stovetop just simmer it as long as you can stand to wait -- a couple hours at least though.
This is close to what i do, but I add a healthy spoonful of cocoa poweder (yes that is "authentic" and I like black beans better. Normally I cook the seasonings in with the drained ground beef as I like the flavor of cooked spices.
