MEAT LOVERS CHILI -- NO BEANS!!!

2 pounds beef stew meat (frozen is fine)

10 ounces smoked andouille sausage, sliced

1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes (whole can)

4oz. onion, peeled and FINELY diced (about 1 onion)

2 tsp garlic powder (or 4 cloves garlic, minced)

1 tablespoon cumin

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 cups beef broth

Use a 6-quart slow cooker, plop everything in and stir. Cover, and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. For chili, the longer the better, in my opinion -- get the flavors to really meld together and provide the meat an opportunity to fall apart.

Serve with your favorite toppings.

We loved this but it would also be good with beans.  Just sayin’!
