SLOW COOKER CHILI DRIED BEANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add the turkey and cook until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook 2 minutes.
• Transfer the turkey mixture to a slow cooker. Stir in tomatoes (with their juices), black and kidney beans, frozen corn kernels, chicken broth, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt and black pepper. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Reduce heat to warm and serve out of the slow cooker.   
• Garnish with cheese, avocado, and corn chips, if you like. 

Steps:

• Add the chicken breasts to a slow cooker. In a bowl, mix the cumin, coriander, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper, then sprinkle over the chicken. Add the beans, celery, garlic, canned chiles, onions, bell peppers and jalapeno. Pour in the chicken broth, put the lid on and cook on low until the beans are cooked, the vegetables are soft and the flavors are combined, about 7 1/2 hours.
• Mix the milk with the masa and add to the slow cooker. Add the frozen corn straight from the freezer and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened, another 30 minutes.
•  Remove the chicken to a board and shred using 2 forks. Return to the slow cooker, then add the lime juice, sprinkle over the Monterey Jack cheese and stir to melt. 
• To serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, extra cheese and cilantro. Roll up warm corn tortillas and serve on the side of the bowl.
