Soak your beans overnight in a bowl full of water. You'll want to give them enough space to swell and expand. In the morning, drain, rinse, and add to your crockpot.

Cover with 1 inch of water and set your crockpot to high.

Cook your beans for 5 hours.

Once your beans are cooked, drain and rinse them, and return them to the crockpot.

Add both cans of tomato sauce, the chili seasoning packets, the onion and garlic powder, and the frozen corn.

Stir thoroughly to combine.

Add the can of beer and stir it in.

Cook in the crockpot on high for at least another hour to give the alcohol time to cook out and for the flavors to blend.

You can serve with shredded cheese, crackers, or corn chips.
