Asian Inspired Chili

A change of pace for you chili lovers. This is something i've developed over the years as a way to use up hoisin sauce. Can be made in crock pot...just throw everything in and cook on low for 6 hours. this makes very thick chili, if you like it thinner, just add water or broth.
