This was tonight's dinner - Crockpot Salsa Chili. This
came out really good. I used already cooked Jalapeno
Chicken Sausage that I ground up in the food processor
and I just browned it up after I cooked the ground
beef. I also browned some onion and green pepper and
put that in with some garlic. I thought it was
perfectly hot but DH complained a bit. Knew he would.

It was delicious. I put a chopped red thai finger
chile in at the end for myself. That was my garnish
along with some cilantro and sour cream. Yummy.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

If on a low carb plan, serve by itself. If on Level 2
Somersizing, you can serve this with 1/2 cup of whole
grain to sop up some of the juices. Make sure that the
sour cream has no sugars or starches in it though. Or
omit the sour cream.
