CROCK POT BLACK BEAN CHILI

• 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.​

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.
