Great in a crock pot if you've got one!
The only change I made was doing it in a crock pot. I sauteed the onion, red and green pepper, and garlic for 10-15 minutes with some olive oil on low heat. I had dry black beans that I'd soaked overnight, and I literally just threw everything, plus the sauteed veggies, in the crock pot and let it cook overnight as well. Very yummy, very cheap, and very healthy!

Great Family Chili
This is such a simple and inexpensive chili to prepare. I added an additional cup of corn to thicken it up a bit and didn't add the Chipotle or Jalapenos since our 15 month old would eat this as well. This tastes great the next day and really takes no time at all to prepare.
One of my favorites!
