Place the beef, onions and garlic in a large no-stick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain the mixture in a strainer or colander, then transfer it to a large plate lined with paper towels. Blot the top of the mixture with additional paper towels, then return it to the skillet.

In a 6-quart crockpot or other slow-cooker, stir together the tomato sauce, salsa, chili powder, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Stir in the beef mixture, beans and corn. Cover and cook on the low heat setting for 7 to 9 hours.
