Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (diced) (about 2 cups)
1 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper (diced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 medium cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 cups cooked black beans (or 2 [15-ounce] cans, drained)

Tips:

  • Soaking the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them soak for 1 hour.
  • Using canned beans: If you're short on time, you can use canned beans instead of dried beans. Just be sure to rinse and drain the beans before using them.
  • Sautéing the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the chili helps to bring out their flavor and deepen the flavor of the chili.
  • Using a variety of spices: Chili is a great dish to experiment with different spices. Some common spices used in chili include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as cayenne pepper, chipotle powder, or smoked paprika, to taste.
  • Simmering the chili: Simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serving the chili: Chili can be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro. You can also serve it over rice, pasta, or cornbread.

Conclusion:

Almost Instant Black Bean Chili is a delicious and easy-to-make chili recipe that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
