Creole-Style Chili

happynana's Note:

Slow Cooker Recipe. This recipe was clipped out of a magazine adapted from Brett Favre's Family Chili recipe in Green Bay Packers Cookbook. I changed up a bit for us and will note my changes. My husband liked it because it was spicy and was not overload on the beans. Enjoy

SO good! I left out the celery and added a small can of corn just for personal preference. I also used hot sausage and ground turkey instead of beef. Served with fritos, sour cream, lettuce, jalapenos, and shredded cheese. Even better the next day! This is a keeper!! Oh, also, I did not make this in the crock pot because we just wanted something to through together quickly, so I sauteed the onion and green pepper then just tossed everything in the pot to simmer for about 30 minutes or so. Thanks for one of my new favorite recipes!!
