We do a ground beef and bean chili in the crock pot, sometimes using leftover taco meat. When dishing it up...
Lay down some shredded lettuce and then add chili.
On top of the chili add - fresh cherry tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped cucumber, sliced olives, avocado, pico de gallo, shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Yum!!

We call it plate chili.
