Ingredients
 
 

For the chili:

  • 1 jalapeno seeded, finely diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 ounces canned fire roasted diced tomatoes, with liquid
  • 30 ounces canned black beans, without liquid
  • 15 ounces canned kidney beans, with liquid
  • 15 ounces canned pinto beans, with liquid
  • 1 TBSP chili powder
  • 1 TBSP cumin
  • ½ tsp coriander
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ¼ -½ cup vegetable broth if needed.

Instructions
 

To make the chili:

  • Dice the jalapeño, onion, red bell pepper, and mince the cloves of garlic.
  • Put the diced veggies, minced garlic, fire-roasted tomatoes (with liquid), black beans (drained), kidney beans (with liquid), and pinto beans (with liquid) into the slow cooker.
  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. If the liquid in the cans of beans is low or the chili looks like it needs a tad more liquid you can add anywhere from ¼-½ cup vegetable broth at this point.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
