4 cups beef broth
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce

1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14-ounce) bag frozen corn

INSTRUCTIONS
Place ground beef, sausage, onion, and bell pepper in a large Dutch oven. Cook, breaking meat apart, until meat is cooked through. Drain off excess fat.

Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

Add broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, black-eyed peas, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add corn and cook 5 more minutes.

NOTES
Note: Remove black-eyed peas and corn from freezer before you start the recipe so they can start thawing. It's ok to add them to the chili when they are still partially frozen.
