1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (15 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, liquid reserved
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

In large skillet break ground beef into pieces, brown and drain. Use slotted spoon to drain fat and place beef in 5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Add chili mix, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, cumin, salt and 1 cup water. If you prefer to have beans in your chili, add 2 (15 ounce) can chili beans or ranch-style beans.

Cover and cook on LOW setting for 4 to 5 hours.
