  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 6 hr 15 min
  • Servings 5

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15.5 oz) red beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce (from 7-oz can), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, mix all ingredients except lime juice.
  • 2
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours or on High heat setting 2 to 3 hours.
  • 3
    Just before serving, stir in lime juice.

  • Many seasonings and herbs will fade during the long cooking time. When slow cooking, taste the dish about 30 minutes before serving, and add additional seasonings if desired.
  • Dried minced garlic is often used in a slow cooker any time you want a more flavorful dish with a garlic flavor, such as this chili. Fresh garlic fades in the slow cooking, while the dried form holds up better and nicely flavors the dish.
  • Do you prefer one type of bean over others? This dish is colorful and flavorful with the variety of beans, but feel free to substitute one kind of bean for another if you have a preference.
  • Chipotle chiles are readily available canned in a spicy adobo sauce. Use one chipotle chile for this recipe, and then freeze the remaining chiles. Spread the chiles in the sauce in a single layer on a plate and freeze until firm. Then, transfer to a resealable freezer bag, label and freeze for future use.
