Submitted by Divalicious 808

"This is my favorite way to prepare chili. I just tossed in what I had on hand and the result is delish! I love to stir in a tsp. of mayo instead of sour cream into my chili...soo yummy. I served this up with cream cheese & cheddar quesadillas."

This was really good! I changed things, but only very slightly. I didn't have any green pepper so I omitted that. I didn't use a jalapeno and I reduced the amount of chili powder slightly because I wanted to keep this very mild for my toddlers. My husband and I could add spice at the table. I used 1 pound of ground chicken rather than 1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey, and I tossed the corn in with the rest of the ingredients rather than waiting til the end. Cooked about 7 hours on low - the result was delicious and everyone ate it happily! I'll definitely make this again.
