CROCK POT 3 BEAN, CHIPOTLE & COLLARDS CHILI

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of 3 cups of water to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from heat and place the dehydrated chipotle pepper in the water and top with a lid. Let steam until the pepper is rehydrated, about 3 minutes.

Place the chipotle in a blender with 2-3 cups of the steam water and blend until smooth, adding seeds as desired (be sure to taste test so it doesn't become too spicy for your taste).
• Mince 2-3 garlic cloves and dice 1/2 large onion and 3 bell peppers. Finely chop 1 bunch of collard greens (stems and leaves).
• Add veggies to a crock pot, along with the pureed chili mixture. Add the 28 oz can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, 2T chili powder, and 3 cans of drained beans.
