Healthy Black Bean-Hominy Chili image

I found this recipe, in the newspaper. Sounds worth a try! I would use frozen onions & green peppers, if I them on hand, to make this even more quick & easy.

I made this chili last night and it was delicious! The flavors were perfect and it had just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again.

This chili is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's so easy to make and always a hit with my family. I love that I can throw it in the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious dinner waiting for me when I get home from work.

I'm not usually a big fan of vegetarian chili, but this black bean and hominy chili is a game changer! It's packed with flavor and has a great texture. I especially love the addition of hominy, which gives it a unique and hearty flavor.
