Chili Cookoff Winner

adams.wifey's Note:

this is my chili recipe. it won the "people's choice" award last year at a superbowl party. it is a little spicy - but not too hot to enjoy. add cooked ground meat if you like, but i like this without. it is also nice to top it with chopped fresh jalapeno peppers. also - i use all organic ingredients. if you live near a trader joe's market, they sell all of these ingredients in organics for less money than the regular items cost at most grocery stores.

This is really good chili. :) I made half the recipe and used 1 can black beans and 1 can kidney beans instead of 1/2 can black beans and 1 1/2 can kidney beans. I cooked it for 3 hours in my crockpot on high and it turned out really nice. I wasn't sure if I should drain all of the cans, but I did except for the can of diced tomatoes. Thanks for a nice recipe! Made for the August Photo Challenge - Crock Pot Cooking.
