Homemade Chili

Chili is an awesome meal! You can throw any combination of ingredients that you like, and most of them are packed full of fiber. Leftovers make a good snack for me, since I'm usually always on the run. Here are the ingredients I use for chili:

1, 15 oz can red beans
1, 15 oz can great northern beans
1, 15 oz can pinto beans
1, 15 oz can black beans
1, 46 oz bottle tomato juice
4 Tbs chili powder
1 green pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
1-2 lbs hamburger

I like to pour a little tomato juice into my crock pot so I can put my 4 Tbs of chili in the bottle of tomato juice and shake it. Once the chili is mixed with the tomato juice, I pour it into my crockpot. You may want to taste your mixture to be sure there is enough chili taste for you. I chop up my peppers and throw those in the crockpot. I drain each can of beans and rinse them thoroughly. Once rinsed, I add the beans to the crockpot and stir. I let the ingredients sit on low for 2-4 hours. Before serving, I brown the hamburger, add it to the chili ingredients, stir and serve. Enjoy!!
