Vegetarian Three Bean Chili

This thick & hearty chili could easily be made in a crock pot.  It tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to combine.

Recipe
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can chili beans with liquid
1/2 C. frozen corn kernels
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 can Rotel tomatoes with green chiles
1 medium sweet potato, cut into small bite size pieces
1 green or red bell pepper, diced
1/4 large onion, diced
Chili seasoning (McCormick's packet or homemade)

Heat olive oil in stock pot, then add onion and bell pepper.  Saute until onion is slightly translucent.  Add tomatoes, beans, corn, potato and chili seasoning.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until sweet potato is tender, about 30 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes.

Comments
 - Honestly, this made me realize how much flavor ground beef or turkey can add to any chili recipe.  Next time I'd probably add meat to this!
