Red Bean Chili (slow cooker) & Corn Bread

I have some family coming over today to help cut trees and when I say trees I mean 40 foot high trees. I need to make room for my fruit orchard and make sure they get enough sun! So about 50 trees have to go, and with a foot of snow on the ground I figured something nice and warm would be the best thing to serve for lunch. So today I made a SUPER EASY Red Bean Chili and Cornbread!!! So Yummy!!!

This is the perfect recipe for someone who doesn't want to be in the kitchen all day I spent 30 minutes in the kitchen and am letting the slow cooker do the rest!!!!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 8 ounces smoked sausage, such as andouille or apple chicken sausage
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (4 ounces) mild green chili peppers
• 2 to 3 tablespoons diced jalapeno peppers, or to taste
• 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes or fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon grill seasoning blend
• 2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Preparation:

In a large skillet or saute pan, brown the ground beef and sausage with onion until meat is no longer pink. Add the bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute longer. Transfer to the slow cooker and add remaining ingredients; cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high  for 3 to 4 hours.
Serves 6 to 8.

I will post a picture later of everyone enjoying it!!!
