  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can kidney beans rinsed

  • 2 cups corn
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder

If you prefer a spicier chili, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeno. You can also add some cayenne pepper.
For a smoky flavor, replace the paprika with smoked paprika, or add a small amount of chipotle chili powder.
