Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 15.5-ounce can chili beans
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn drained
  • 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 1-ounce package taco seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
  • sour cream, optional

Equipment

  • Crock pot
  • Crock pot liners

Method
 

  1. Mix onion powder, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, broth, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, and shredded chicken in a slow cooker on low heat. Cover, and cook for 4 hours (or high for 1-2 hours). Serve warm. Additional toppings may include cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Quick prep: Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep, or cook raw chicken breasts right in the slow cooker.
  • Spice level: Customize the spice level by adding jalapeños, hot sauce, or red chili flakes.
  • Freeze portions: Make a big batch and freeze portions for easy weeknight dinners later.
  • Stovetop shortcut: For a stovetop shortcut, simmer everything in a pot for 30 minutes instead of using the slow cooker.
