add to crockpot, as well as:
2 cans black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 can white beans (dreained & rinsed)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 green bell pepper (sliced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
.25 cups red wine
put crockpot on high for 3 hours




corn bread mix...



...made in muffin tins



i like my corn bread warm with butter & my chili with a dollop of sour cream



another meal i make in the crockpot is split pea soup, no 'after' photo to share of this one - just imagine a bowl full of green soup

bon appetit !

see you tomorrow for day 9 !
