Step 1: In a large pan over high heat, brown ground beef and onions. Drain fat and transfer to a slow cooker (check out my slow cooker from Green Life that is stove top safe!).

Step 2: Stir in Rotel, rinsed beans, tomato sauce, water, and corn if using. Sprinkle half of the seasoning bag into the slow cooker and stir. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour or low for 2 hours. Taste the chili and add more of the seasoning mix if you prefer more intense flavor. *This chili mix comes with a packet of cayenne pepper - it's super spicy, so I serve it separately for those who want to control the heat. It also comes with masa flour for thicker chili. If you'd like to use it, whisk 1/3 cup water with the flour and stir back in to the chili. Let cook for another half hour.

Step 3: Dish up generous portions of our easy game day chili in to bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings!
