Serves: 6. Prep: 6 hours in a slow-cooker.
4 cups kidney beans (soak overnight; 1 cup dry beans = 2 cups soaked beans)
3 cups tomato sauce
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cups corn
4 bell peppers, chopped
1-2 tbsps chili powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tbsp pepper
Chili pepper flakes (just a couple dashes!)
Combine all ingredients in the slow-cooker and mix well. Set the time to 6 hours and let it go! Serve with Frito’s corn chips and/or baked potatoes. Sometimes I like to add soy “meat balls” from Trader Joe’s. After half an hour or so of cooking I’ll find them in the pot and mash them with a fork so they mix in with everything.
