CROCK POT BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a heavy skillet, saute the onions in the olive oil until tender, stirring frequently, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes longer. Add the cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for two minutes longer to bloom the spices.
• Combine the onion mixture with the bell peppers, tomatoes, broth, corn, black beans, and Picante or taco sauce into a 4 to 5-quart slow cooker.​
• Cover and cook on low about 10 hours or until the vegetables are tender. You can thicken this chili if you'd like using a mixture of about 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/3 cup water. Add to the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened. If you have a newer, hotter cooking crock pot , cook the whole recipe on low for 6 to 7 hours.
