Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add sausage, onion, and the next 4 ingredients (onion through jalapeno) to pan;
cook 8 minutes or until sausage and beef are browned, stirring to crumble.
Add chili powder and the next 7 ingredients (chili powder through bay leaves),
and cook for1 minute, stirring constantly.
Stir in wine, tomatoes, and kidney beans; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Uncover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Discard the bay leaves. Sprinkle each serving with cheddar cheese.

instead of going to all the trouble of tomatoes, 1 jar of medium salsa will do the trick with chili beans,

Crock Pot Chili
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
1 medium onion, diced
1 small or 1/2 large green pepper diced
1 1 lb can diced tomatoes
1 1 lb can chili beans
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine or beer
1 pkg chili seasoning mix of your choice
1 tbl chili powder
Directions:
Mix everything together in the crockpot and
cook on low 6 or more hours. This
is really good with some cheese sprinkled on
top just before serving and a dab
of sour cream on top.

I use

2 cans light red kidney beans, drained
2 cans dark red kidney beans, drained
1 can chili beans, not drained

1 can tomato sauce
Basil, oregano, salt and pepper

Fry hamburger meat. Empty everything else into crockpot. Drain hamburger meat and add to crockpot. Let cook on low all day or high for 2-3 hours. It is good with fritos or crackers :)
