A batch of this versatile crock pot chili can be served various ways. As is, it's satisfying with ground beef and beans in a seasoned tomato sauce. For a different twist, serve it in a bowl over your favorite pasta or broken tortilla chips. Garnish with sour cream and grated cheddar cheese if desired.
