Step 1: Assembly
In your trusty 4-quart crockpot, combine the chickpeas and white beans. These legumes will provide a hearty and protein-packed base for your chili.

Sprinkle in the chili seasoning packet. The blend of spices will infuse the chili with irresistible flavors and aromas.
Gently incorporate the diced green chili's and thick vegetable base. These ingredients will contribute depth to the chili's overall profile.
For a touch of heat, introduce the cayenne pepper. Adjust the amount based on your heat tolerance.
Finally, add the sweet corn to balance the flavors with a touch of natural sweetness.
Step 2: Cooking Time
Now, it's time to let the crockpot work its magic. You have two options for cooking time:
