more of a Guideline, really:

2. Brown ground beef.  Add 2 TBS Chili Powder and 1/4 cup beef stock.  Cook liquid off.  Add cooked ground beef to crock pot.
3. Toss Stir-Fry Beef with flour and EVOO.  Brown sides (beef doesn't need to be completely cooked through, that will happen in the crock pot).  Deglaze pan with 1/4 cup beef stock.  Add beef and remaining liquid to crock pot.
4. Put all vegetables, diced and then covered, in the fridge.  Add to crock pot one hour before you plan to serve Chili.
