I like how bright and colorful this chili looks. So many cool weather foods, while tasty, look drab. You’ve inspired me to use my crock pot more. Thank you for linking with See Ya in the Gumbo this week!
Thanks Michelle! Hope you give it a try and enjoy!
This looks so yummy! I have a question though..do you have any thoughts on what to put in other than beans? I am not a bean person lol. I think everything looks so good and filling with them in it but the texture does not agree with my taste buds lol. I am pinning this to a group board though so others can see its yumminess too! Thanks for linking up to Totally Terrific Tuesday Link Party! Link up is LIVE so I hope you come back and link up more awesome goodies!

Thanks Jessica! I think this would be great even without the beans, just increase the amount of chicken and corn. Another idea may be to add quinoa, I haven’t tried quinoa yet in a chili, but have lately seen a lot of chili recipes with quinoa, so that could be good too. Hope you give it a try and enjoy!
This sounds fantastic for those upcoming cold months! A hot bowl of soup/chili is one of the few things I like about winter. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this with us this week!
Thanks Jamie! Thanks for coming by!
