We made a half-recipe of this Wheat Berry Chili yesterday to try it out, and it turned out great. Cooked it 5 hours on high and 2 or 3 more on low. We love, love, love wheat berries. Thank you for this recipe. It was a little too tomato-y thick for me, so next time I might try using diced canned tomatoes rather than the crushed tomatoes.
