Directions
- Sauté beef and onion in a large skillet until browned and drain excess fat. In a mid-size slow-cooker combine spices and canned ingredients.
- Cook for 4 hours on high- stirring occasionally. Add more water if necessary. Add cooked spaghetti or uncooked ramen noodles, which cook quicker, at least 30 minutes before cooking is complete.
- Place chili in soup bowls and garnish with cheddar cheese, avocado, jalapenos and sour cream if desired.
