Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Turn a slow cooker on High and add butter to melt.

Step 2

Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until fats begin to render, about 3 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes more. Add to the slow cooker. Stir in bell peppers, chile peppers, tomato sauce, black beans, baked beans, tomatoes, and corn. Add hot sauce, chili powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Heat oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Saute garlic in the pan until browned, about 1 minute. Add turkey; saute until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the liquid from the pan and add to the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker to Low and cook, stirring once every hour, until reduced, about 6 hours. Serve with a spoonful of sour cream and shredded Cheddar on top of each bowl.
