Servings 8

Equipment

• crock pot

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 can chili beans
• 1 can kidney beans
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can whole kernel corn
• 2 packets chili seasoning they have this in all the food stores, i like to go with the lower sodium option!
• ½ cup water
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 small onion
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 can tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
• french's fried onions optional for topping
• sour cream for topping
• shredded cheddar for topping

Instructions

• **Brown the Beef:**In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
• **Dice the Veggies:**chop your veggies into small pieces
• **Transfer to Crock-Pot:**Transfer the cooked beef and the chopped veggies to your Crock-Pot.
• **Add Beans, Tomatoes and Corn:** Pour in the undrained chili beans, drained kidney beans, drained black beans, and corn kernels, along with the jars of tomato sauce, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes.
• **Chili Sauce Magic:**Pour in the chili sauce to give your chili that extra zing. Stir everything in the Crock-Pot to combine.
• **Season It Up:**Sprinkle the two packets of chili seasoning evenly over the mixture. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is distributed throughout. If needed add ½ cup of water if the mixture is too thick.
• **Set and Forget:**Cover the Crock-Pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This slow-cooking magic allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
• **Serve and Enjoy:**Once the chili is ready, ladle it into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions. Serve with a side of crusty bread or tortilla chips. My FAV secret ingredient to top my chili with is french's fried onions!! It's sooo yummy and adds the perfect crunch.
• **Leftovers? No Problem:**This chili gets even better with time! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and you'll have delicious meals ready for days to come.
