Read on, for this ultra easy recipe:

INGREDIENTS

1 can tomato sauce (I prefer Hunts Onion, Herbs & Spices)

1 can tomato paste

1 can diced herb and spice tomatoes

1 can white kidney beans

1 can red kidney beans

1/4 large white onion

1 yellow bell pepper

1 orange bell pepper

1-2 jalapeño peppers (or omit if you prefer mild)

1 cup frozen corn

1/4 c. BBQ sauce

1 packet taco seasoning

For toppings:

Lime wedges

Sour cream

Grated Cheddar

Cilantro

Pickled jalapeños

Avocado slices

Green onions/chives

METHOD

Rinse and strain kidney beans, and canned tomatoes, and add to your slow cooker.

Dice onion, chop bell peppers, mince jalapeño. If you wish, lightly sauté in a pan with water (not butter or oil) until softened (taking care not to fry – you do not want to add a fried butter flavour to chili). But if you prefer not to, you can add the ingredients raw to the pot and it will turn out delicious.
