Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and sausage in the hot skillet until some of the fat renders, 2 to 3 minutes; add onion and garlic and continue to cook and stir until the meats are browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker.
• Stir kidney beans, chili beans, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, celery, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, chipotle chiles, bacon bits, chili sauce, hot pepper sauce, chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, and salt with the beef mixture.
• Cook on Low until vegetables are completely tender but the celery retains a slight bit of firmness, 6 to 8 hours (or 3 to 4 hours on High).

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.
• Remove the stem from the rehydrated chipotle pepper, as well as the seeds (reserve a few if you prefer more heat in your chili). 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.
• Set crock pot on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6. When ready to eat, you may add water or stock as needed, until it reaches your desired consistency.
• Season with extra chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Top with sliced avocado and shredded Jack cheese, or your desired garnishes.
