• 3 lbs canned beans (i used 1 can each of black beans, kidney beans and cannellini)
• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 cup strong red wine, depending on how wet you like your chili (i suggest a cabernet, (or more)
• 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 2 -4 bay leaves, depending on size
• 1 teaspoon allspice

Recipe

• 1 you're going to need a 5-6 qt crock pot or stock pot for this.
• 2 brown the meats in an iron skillet in separate batches, drain and add to crock pot.
• 3 add a little more oil to the skillet and saute all the veggies except the green pepper.
• 4 when the onion is clear, add all veggies to crock pot along with all remaining ingredients.
• 5 give it a stir and set the crock to high and cook 4 hours or low and cook 8 hours.
• 6 or just simmer on the stove until you're happy with it.
• 7 season to taste.
• 8 *note:if you don't want the veggies to be as noticeable (or you just want to hide them from your kids!), you could throw them in a food processor and i think they'd blend right in with the ground meat.
• 9 i didn't serve this with any cheese, but i'm thinking a nice sharp one, like cheddar or fontina would be really nice.
