In case you are venturing over to a pot luck this weekend, something in a crock pot would be easy to bring and just plug in and share. I like basic and easy because a large group of people don't always like the same thing and will wander over to something recognizable and savory.
1 pound ground beef, fried and crumbled
(You can do half and half with ground pork, if you like.)
1 onion, diced
1 bell peppers (your choice of red, green, or yellow), diced
2 14.5 ounces cans diced tomatoes
2 14.5/15 ounce cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
16 ounces of corn, canned or frozen
1 14.5/15 ounce can of kidney beans
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Dash of chili flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
2-3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
2 cup shredded cheese, your choice
After you brown and crumble the meat, in the same pan, lightly saute the onions and peppers until they almost lose their crisp.
Add the meat, vegetables, canned items, and seasonings to the crock pot at your favorite setting and depending on when you need it.
When you are ready to serve, top each bowl of chili with diced tomatoes and cheese.
This recipe can also be cooked on the stove top. Crock pots keep one, less chore off your list but, sometimes, it is nice to have a pot on the stove to fuss over and scent the house with good flavors to be!
