Black Bean Chili

water

onion, (chopped)

garlic cloves, (minced)

green bell pepper, (seeded and finely diced)

¾ of a (15-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, (in their juices)

(15-ounces each) can black beans,

can diced green chilies

cumin

cayenne

chili powder

Heat the water in a large pot. Add chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté over high heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add water as needed.

Add crushed tomatoes in their juices, beans and their liquid, chilies, and spices, and stir to combine. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until flavors are blended.

This was an excellent chili and perhaps up there with my absolute favorite chilis ever.  It is a light and mild version, which I kind of appreciate in the summer, however, I did tweak it a bit.

I added a whole can of crushed tomatoes because using 3/4 of a can would only lead to me not using the other 1/4 can and it going to waste.  I also increased the chili powder and only used enough liquid so it wasn't soup but thick like a chili.  Best of all, I cooked it in the slow cooker for the afternoon and that resulted in the creamiest black beans ever with so much flavor.

I wasn't sure about a chili recipe that used only 0.5 t chili powder. but it worked! This recipe is a keeper.

Delicious! I didn't have any cumin and used pepper flakes and it turned out great! Thanks

Update: When you add more seasoning, it's great. It needs more of the spices listed, salt, and red pepper flakes.
