Ripe Olive Chili

Didn't use the oil when browning the beef. Used Penzey's Chili3000 seasoning. Cooked in Crock Pot on low overnight. Otherwise, followed the recipe.

Delicious! The ripe olives make this dish. Have made several times and still love it. Freezes and reheats well.

If making in slowcooker, add the olives about 30 min before end of cooking time. Diced tomatoes can be subbed for the stewed tomatoes.
