Chili is another of those types of foods that can be pulled together in so many ways. You can have meat or no meat – you can have chicken, turkey, beef or pork. You can have beans or no beans – you can have kidney beans, white beans, black beans, or pinto beans. It can be spicy or not. Also you could add other veggies or not. For this slow cooker creation, I made Black Bean Chicken Chili – and was deliciousness in a bowl!
I love the combination of Black Beans and Corn – they balance each other so perfectly. And honestly this chili could not be more simple. It took me maybe 5 minutes to put everything in the pot. Then I went out and enjoyed the day with my family and came home to a yummy, hearty bowl of chili!
As you can see from the pics, I served mine up with some cheese quesadillas. All I do it put some cheese, paprika and cumin in a folded tortilla and toast them in my biggest saute pan until gold brown on each side. You could also serve it with some Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Bread (just add a cup of shredded cheese and half a diced jalapeno to your fave corn bread recipe).
