Saute mushrooms with butter in a pan and add to crock pot.
Add diced red onion (add as much as you like), can of red kidney beans, can of tomatoes, garlic and seasoning packet and stir everything so meat is good and coated with other ingredients.
Leave crock pot on low all day and it will simmer into a soupy chili (or on high if you only cook for a few hours). Stir occasionally.
