Crockpot Mexican Chili

http://www.meatlessmonday.com/crockpot-mexican-chili/

My thoughts: As many know we've been celebrating meatless Mondays at our house. We tried this recipe from the website and loved it served over simple cornbread. It was extremely simple and I'd gladly make it again. The website also contains nutritional information for those trying to follow strict diets. Speaking of strict diets, we obviously didn't add corn due to my dietary restrictions. 2 tbsp of chili powder was perfect for a slight kick and did not kill my stomach. I'd double it if making it for a family size portion. Enjoy!

1 15-oz can garbanzo beans
1 15-oz can black beans
1 24-oz jar of your favorite salsa
2 tbsp chili powder (or more to taste)
1 tbsp cumin
1 cup water
1 15-oz can Mexican-style corn (optional)
Directions

Turn crockpot on low heat. Mix all ingredients together in crockpot. Cover and cook 4-6 hours (depending on thickness you desire).

Notes: Adding the corn makes a nice accent on the black beans. Not only does this chili taste wonderful; it is pretty also!
