recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like coming home to the smell of a warm, savory chili waiting for you. My family loves this recipe because it is filling, healthy, and so simple to put together on a busy weeknight.
For the best results, you can use either canned or frozen corn depending on what you have in your pantry. If you like a little extra heat, feel free to add a pinch of chili flakes before you start the slow cooker.
