Instructions

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Start by spraying the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the frozen sweet corn, black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), diced bell peppers, diced onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, and vegetable broth. Mix well.

Season the Mixture: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring everything is well-coated with the spices.

Pour into Slow Cooker: Transfer the mixed ingredients into the prepared slow cooker, spreading them evenly.

Cooking Time: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and flavors melded together.

Add Cheese: About 20-30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chili mix, cover again, and let the cheese melt into the dish.

Serve: Once done, ladle the chili corn bake into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for garnish.

Enjoy: Serve warm with cornbread or tortilla chips on the side for a delicious meal!
