  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Instructions

  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  4. Transfer the chili mixture to a slow cooker.

  5. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the chili is thickened and flavors have melded.

  6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and/or tortilla chips.

Tips and Tricks

  • For a spicier chili, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper.

  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the chili in a large pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until thickened.

  • To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the directions and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, reheat the chili in a pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.
