EASY BLACK BEAN CHILI



Easy Black Bean Chili image

We love chili for its rib-sticking deliciousness, and this meatless version is no exception. Just because it's made with beans, and no meat, doesn't mean it's not filling. Cumin, chili powder and chiles add heat, while fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and sweet corn give it extra flavor.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry quinoa
1 cup water
3 15-ounce cans black beans, drained (not rinsed)
2 28-ounce cans diced tomatoes, fire roasted if possible
4 tablespoons salted butter (replace with 2 tablespoons olive oil or refined coconut oil for vegan)
1 15-ounce can corn (or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn)
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons each chili powder and dried oregano
1 tablespoon each garlic powder and cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Dice the onion. Mince the garlic.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender.
  • Add all other ingredients except for the smoked paprika. Simmer for 25 minutes, then stir in the smoked paprika. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen for 3 months.
  • Follow the instructions above, but remove the smoked paprika (the fire will add smoky flavor). If you're taking it camping, prep the minced onion and garlic and place in a sealed container. Place the ingredients from water through kosher salt in another large sealed container (keep out the dry quinoa and add when cooking). Keep everything cool until making the chili.
