SWEET BAKED BEAN CHILI

Sweet Baked Bean Chili image

This very easy crock pot recipe is a yummy variation on Chili using baked beans and sweet peppers. This is my own creation, which has been fully tested and approved by my entire family, including my three year old.This will make a mild chili, but you can always add more "punch" at your own discretion.
