Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL
  • 1 medium white onion chopped
  • 1 .25 oz packet chili seasoning click for easy homemade recipe
  • 3 or 16-oz cans black beans do not drain
  • 1 .5 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes do not drain
  • 1 oz jar roasted red peppers drained and chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Flavor Base: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and a bit translucent, about 4 minutes. Add chili seasoning and cook for another 1 minute.
  2. Assemble: Add cans of black beans and fire roasted tomatoes (do not drain them – add it all). Drain and chop the roasted red peppers, then add them in. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes*.
  3. Blend (optional): For a rich texture, ladle 1 cup of the chili into a countertop blender. Do not fully close the lid (it can be very dangerous to blend hot liquids, steam must be able to escape). Blend until smooth, then add it back to the main pot of chili and stir well.
  4. Serve hot topped with your favorites, like avocado, cilantro, diced onion, and crushed corn chips!
