easy bean chili

This vegetarian bean chili recipe is pretty flexible. You can use dried or canned beans &#8212; see our notes below for canned. When it comes to cooking, the timing above is for dried beans on the stovetop. A slow cooker will also work. I&#8217;ve shared notes below in the recipe for a guide. We use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for this. You can find small inexpensive cans of them in the international aisle of the grocery store. Two peppers makes a mild to medium spiced chili. For a spicy version, add one or two more peppers (or add some of the adobo sauce from the can).

red wine vinegar

Lime wedges, mashed avocado, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, chopped onion, cilantro, tortillas or tortilla chips

This is very tasty despite not having all the ingredients.  Subbed smoked paprika for the chipotle and umami powder for the mushrooms.  Threw in some diced jalapeño.  It makes a difference to cook the spices for a few minutes with the onions - enhances flavor.  Had half a pound of lean ground beef defrosted so cooked down to render the fat and drained before adding.  Cut the beans in half as I had added the meat.  Despite all the non-recipe shenanigans it still tasted great!

PS I used only canned beans..red, pinto, black...no problemo!

Well indeed ya did it again!   Did not have access to meat, so this was a serious winner, and the mushrooms!!!   Shared mine with a friend, and she commented she could not believe it was chili without meat!  Bravo..I am about to start a second batch while there is still a cup-full in the fridge! Bravo!

I’m now making it in a slow cooker. The kitchen smells delicious! I think it will make a perfect lunch today! Thanks, Adam and Joanne. I know it will taste great!
