Bonnie's Chili
This chili is incredibly easy to make, and has a surprising depth of flavor—it tastes like chilis that take all day to create! I can make this for people who like it hot or mild just by changing the salsa. You can make it really spicy if you add hot peppers and hot salsa. —Bonnie Altig, North Pole, Alaska

In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Transfer to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook, covered, on low until heated through, 5-6 hours. If desired, serve with optional toppings.
