This. Is. SO. Good. :) It's adapted (slightly) from a cookbook I have called "One-Dish Meals"

1 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained, cut up
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon sugar (though I always add a little bit more)
1-1-1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 (15 ounce) can spicy chili beans, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed

In large skillit, cook ground beef and onion until beef is browned and thoroughly cooked. Drain.
In crockpot, combine browned meat and onion with all remaining ingredients; mix well.
Cover; cook on low setting for 7-8 hours or until thoroughly heated.

We sprinkle some shredded cheese on it when we eat it and it's QUITE yummy. I also always make some cornbread to go with it. :)

Other topping suggestions:
chopped onions or green onions
sliced ripe olives
minced jalapenos
sour cream (or plain nonfat yogurt)
shredded lettuce
chopped fresh tomatoes
crumbled cooked bacon
diced roasted bell pepper
