Crock Pot Chili

1 can (16oz) tomato soup
1 can (16oz) hot chili beans
1 can (16oz) chili ready diced tomatoes (should have jalapenos)
*1-2 can(s) (16oz) bean of your choice (i.e. black, pinto, great northern, navy.  I prefer the Private Selection tri-bean blend sold at Kroger).
1/2 cup beverage of your choice (coke, beer, whiskey)

*1-2 lb(s) ground turkey
1 lb hot italian sausage or chorizo
salt
pepper
crushed red pepper

1 green pepper
1 jalapeno
1 hot pepper of your choice (to kick it up, habanero.  for a milder chili, serrano, poblano, or another jalapeno)
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic

(Optional Spices)
I usually add cayenne, crushed red pepper, pepper, and plenty of chili powder to the crock pot once everything is in.

*Depending on the size of your crock pot and the number of people you are serving,  you may want 1 or 2 cans of a bean of your choice and 1 or 2 lbs of ground turkey.*

Cook the turkey and sausage/chorizo together in a pan with three cloves of garlic, diced.  Add a little salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.  Meat should be fully cooked.  Drain the grease off then dump the meat and garlic into the crock pot.

Dice the green pepper, jalapeno, onion, and hot pepper of your choice.  Add to crock pot.

Add the can of tomato soup, chili beans, diced tomatoes, bean of your choice, and beverage of your choice.  Add spices if desired. Stir the contents well, put the top on, and turn on the crock pot.

Cook on low 6-8 hrs or high for 3-4 hours.  The longer the better, but as everything is already cooked, you can serve it once it is hot.
