Crock Pot Taco Chili

Just combine kidney and black beans, chopped peppers, corn, tomatoes and spices with ground beef or ground chicken, set it and forget it. I adore my crock pot.  It gives me a chance to enjoy the end of the day with Richard instead of having to prepare a meal from scratch.  The crock pot does all the work for me early in the day and the house smells amazing.

Serve with fresh Cornbread and a salad for a hearty meal.
