Slow Cooker Spicy Three Bean Chili

I made a great chili tonight that warms you up on cold winter nights and keeps you full. It's low in points (only 5 per serving) and works for those of you on the core plan too. Best of all, it's really cheap and easy to make. I put mine in the crock pot and just let it cook. You can add ground beef, ground turkey and any of your favorite beans, vegetables or spices to make it your own. 

Slow Cooker Spicy Three Bean Chili:
-1 28 oz  can crushed tomatoes
-1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can kidney beans, rinsed
-1 15 oz can white beans, rinsed 
-1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed 
-1 medium onion, diced 
-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped 
-2 tbsp chili powder 
-1 tbsp ground cumin 
-1/4 to 1/2 tbsp cayenne powder 
-3 cups water 

Mix all ingredients together in crock pot and cook either on low for 8 hours or on high for 4. Add seasonings to taste, especially if you don't like your chili too spicy. If you like your chili a little thicker add only 2 cups of water. Makes about 6 scant 2 cup servings. Great with chives, fat free sour cream or some reduced fat shredded cheddar.
