Its a hearty dish that has a lot of components of a chili.
It would be a comforting warm dish to have during cold days.
Its an easy way to prep a large batch without having to do a lot of work.

The addition of the Lil smokies adds a nice touch to the rest of the ingredients.
Ingredients:
Directions:
First, prepare and chop all of the veggies.
In a large skillet with cooking oil, place on the stove over medium-high heat.

Brown the ground beef and onions then drain any excess grease.
Place the cooked mixture into the bottom of the crockpot.

Next, add the rest of the ingredients into the crockpot, and mix well.

Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
Overall, I love Lil smokies, but Ive never had it in a casserole form.
I think the combination of ingredients is interesting and reminds me of a different version of chili.
It would be perfect to serve in the winter cold days.
