Chili (or chili beans) is one of my favorite comfort foods. It makes me think of football games and spending time with family and friends through the cold months. I just made what I believe is my last batch because spring is coming! And then I realized I have never shared my slow cooker recipe for chili with you.

So, here you go everyone. I hope you enjoy this deliciously easy recipe for some chili beans!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground turkey (or beef)
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 can HOT chili beans
• 1 can light red kidney beans
• 1 can dark red kidney beans
• ½ green bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• ¾ cup salsa
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp Mrs. Dash
• ½ cup water

First, you want to crumble the ground turkey into the bottom of the crock pot.

Next, top with garlic, paprika, & chili powder.

Then add the onion and green pepper.

For the next layer, add salsa, tomatoes, & water.

Finally top off with your three cans of beans.

Cook on LOW for six hours.

Then stir & turn to warm.

If there are any remaining large chunks of the ground turkey, break them up.

You can leave this on warm until you are ready to serve; whether it is a few minutes or a couple of hours. The longer you leave it, the more flavorful it is!

I enjoy my chili topped with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, & Fritos! How do you like yours?
