CROCK POT CHILI 
1 lb. dry red beans
1 lb. sausage
1 large onion
4 celery stalks
2 large cans diced tomatoes
2 tbsp. chili powder
2 tbsp. minced garlic
4 dried red chilies or 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper

Soak dry beans overnight in a large CrockPot, and pour off soaking water.

Dice sausage, celery and onion and add to beans.

Add both cans of tomatoes (undrained).

Add the spices.

Stir ingredients together and heat the Crockpot on low (not warm) for a minimum of 12 hours, stirring every 4 hours. Cooking longer is better. The chili is at its best after 36 hours on low heat.

Cut down on the celery by 1/2, add 1 tsp. celery salt. In lieu of regular sausage use spicy sausage, i.e. any of the flavored sausages, medium, or hot, and 1 lb. of lean ground beef. You would not believe the flavor.

I used a package of ground turkey instead of sausage and added some salt. It was very good, thanks for the recipe.

celery salt is not such a good thing if your are watching salt intake to reduce blood pressure. try celery SEED instead..more flavor, no salt. And ground turkey did this nicely. I subbed canned diced roasted jalapenos and feel it made for a more mellow kind of heat.
