Ingredients:
 
1 pkg ground chicken/turkey (or beef, if you prefer)
1 green pepper, cubed
1 medium yellow or white onion, cubed
1 can corn (drained and rinsed)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 large can diced tomatoes + *reserved liquid
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
3 tbls chili seasonong (see below)
2 tbls canola or olive oil
1 tsp each salt & freshly ground pepper
your favourite hot sauce to taste
 
Chili Seasoning:
6 tsp chili powder
5 tsp paprika
4 1/2 tsp cumin
2 1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne
Combine all ingredients & store remaining seasoning mixture in an airtight container.

Directions:
 
Using a large pot/dutch oven, start by sauteing onions in oil over medium high heat. Add ground chicken & 1 tbls chili seasoning. Break up the ground chicken into small bits as it cooks. When the meat is almost thoroughly cooked, throw in the green pepper & 1 tbls chili seasoning. Continue browning for a couple of minutes or until the green pepper starts to soften a bit. Add the diced tomatoes & reserved liquid. Add the final 1 tbls chili seasoning, hot sauce and liquid smoke & stir till well combined. Reduce heat to medium & bring to a gentle boil. Add the beans and corn & bring it back to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for at least an hour.
You can top this off with shredded cheese, green onion, sour cream & serve with crackers, garlic toast, or cornbread. Or keep it simple & serve it as is! Delicious!
 
*Note: Reduce the liquid if you like your chili thicker.
