Servings: persons

2 pounds Ground Beef
1 pound Ground Pork
1 whole Green Pepper
1 whole Red Pepper
1 whole Sweet Onion
5 whole Jalapenos
1 can (15 Oz. Can) White Cannellini Beans
1 can (15 Oz. Can) Red Cannellini Beans
1 can (15 Oz. Can) Black Eyed Peas
1 can (15 Oz. Can) Corn
1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Crushed Tomatoes
3 cups Spicy Tomato Juice V8
2 packages (1.25 Oz. Packet) McCormicks Chili Seasoning
1 cup Ketchup
1 whole Lime
4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard

1
Saute the meat over medium heat until browned; then drain the grease. Add to a crock pot.
2
Dice and saute peppers, onions and jalapenos (de-seeded) over medium heat. When they are nice and soft, add them to the pot.
3
Rinse and drain the beans and peas; add to the pot. Mix all together.
4
Add remaining ingredients of seasoning packets, ketchup, juice of lime, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, tomatoes, tomato juice, and drained corn.
5
Give it one big stir and set the crock pot on low for 8 hours.
6
I like to serve this with a bit of shredded cheese on top and tortilla chips on the side. This recipe is great because you can alter the hot or sweet flavors by changing the amounts of jalapenos or brown sugar. You can combine everything at night and then turn the crock pot on in the morning. Enjoy!
