2 lbs. ground chuck

1 can tomatoes or tomato sauce

1 1/2 tsp. Salt

2 tsp. Cumin

1/4 c. chili powder

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. garlic powder 

 

Brown meat in skillet.  Drain fat.  Put in crock pot with other ingredients. Add water just to cover meat.  Cook on low for about 4 hours.  Stir in 1/4 cup cornmeal.  Add gradually so it won't make lumps.  Cook about 10 more minutes. 

*If you need to leave cooking as long as 8 hours, add a little more water.
