Three Bean Turkey Chili!

Dinner Tonight: Three Bean Turkey Chili w/ Corn Bread Ears


It's a cold and rainy day outside today but it's warm and hearty here on the inside. Nothing is any easier than to fix dinner by using the crock pot. One my favorite crock pot recipes is Three Bean Turkey Chili! This is a fun recipe because you can make it as hot or as spicy as you want. Mine with all the ingredients comes out about medium hot. I could eat it a lot spicier but my parents are not fans of spicy or hot. I like my Chili hearty and thick but if you like yours a bit more thinner or with a soup you can add more water to this recipe to thin it out. I had a side of Cornbread Ears that I had baked.
