M & T's Crock Pot Chili

• 1 lb ground beef, browned
• 12 lb sausage links, sliced and browned
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package chili seasoning mix (Williams brand, suggested)
• 2 (10 ounce) cans Mexican tomatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) can no-bean chili
• 2 (10 ounce) cans Rotel tomatoes & chilies
• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 14 cup diced onion

1. Combine all ingredients in the crockpot.
2. Cover and cook on LO heat 5 to 6 hours.
3. NOTES: I used 6 Johnsonville breakfast patties for the sausage.
4. Although they were frozen they thawed very quickly.
5. I browned them with the beef and when the beef was done, so was the sausage.
6. (I am wondering how hot Italian sausage would be in this chili?)
7. I also noticed there were 40 ounces of tomatoes in this chili.
8. To cut down the heat, I used only one can of RoTel tomatoes and 2 (15-ounce) cans of regular stewed tomatoes (the ready-cut kind).
9. Made this way, the chili had enough "kick" for me.
