Turn on the aroma rice cooker and select the risotto function.

Add 1.5 pounds of ground beef to the rice cooker.

Wait for the meat to cook, then wash hands after handling raw beef.

Open cans of chili hot beans, dark red kidney beans, and lightweight kidney beans.

Add the beans to the rice cooker, including their liquid.

Add about half a jar (10 ounces) of chunky salsa to the mixture.

Season the cooked meat with 2 packs of chili seasoning mix.

Pour in the liquid from the beans after adding the seasoning.

Stir the mixture and check if it can fit another can of beans; adjust as necessary.

Let the chili simmer until it is bubbling, scraping the bottom lightly to prevent sticking.

Serve the chili with crackers and optionally with cheddar cheese.
