Sunday Chili

It appears we have a Sunday ritual.  Every Sunday we make a large pot of chili.  I think we finally perfected it this weekend.  It had just the right amount of heat, was pretty thick and had a great flavor.  Chili is really easy to make since you can just throw all the ingredients into a slow cooker and leave it cooking for 4 to 6 hours, leaving us plenty of time to enjoy the day.  The part that takes the longest is chopping all the peppers but my boyfriend seems to enjoy that so I let him take care of that part.  The best part about making chili on Sunday is there is always leftovers for the week. 

Here's what we do:

Ingredients
1 lb 13 oz can Black Beans
1 lb 13 oz can Red Beans
13 oz can White Beans
2 cups soaked Lentils
(2) 6 oz cans tomato paste
1 lb 12 oz can diced tomato
1/4 cup sundried tomato chopped
2 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup cooking red wine
1 orange pepper chopped
1 red pepper chopped
2 jalapeños chopped
1 serrano pepper chopped
2 long red chili peppers chopped
1 medium yellow onion chopped
1/2 cup chipotle in adobo sauce (chop peppers)
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp salt

Put all ingredients into slow cooker.  We generally taste it as we are cooking and adjust seasoning as we feel necessary.  Cook on low for 6 hours, stir occasionally.  Serve and enjoy!  It's as easy as that.
