Categories     Bean

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 sweet onion, peeled and chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
2.5 tbsp chili powder, or to taste
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or crushed red pepper flakes)
1/2 cup dry/uncooked black eyed peas
3/4 cup dry/uncooked black beans
6 cups vegetable broth
1 (28-oz) can diced tomatoes, liquid drained
2 tbsp tomato paste, to thicken
1 tbsp chia seeds (or ground flax), to thicken
1 cup frozen corn
2 tbsp your fav BBQ sauce
1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
couple handfuls of chopped spinach, or other greens like collard, kale, etc

Steps:

  • 1. Soak the beans in water overnight or for at least 3-4 hours. This part is optional, but it helps reduce cook time and makes the beans more digestible. Rinse and drain beans before using. In a large pot, add the oil and sauté the onion and garlic over medium-low heat for about 5-6 minutes, until translucent. 2. Add in the pepper and optional jalapeno and sauté for another 3-5 minutes. 3. Stir in the spices (chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne) and sauté on low another couple minutes. If you want, you can add just a bit for now and then add the rest to taste after it has cooked. 4. Add the dry black beans and black eyed peas, broth, and drained diced tomatoes. Stir well. Now stir in the tomato paste. Simmer on low with the lid ajar for about 2.5 hours, checking often to make sure it doesn't dry out. If it does, add a bit more broth to thin out. 5. About 15 minutes before it's done cooking, stir in the chia seeds, corn, and chopped greens. The chia helps thicken the chili. Also stir in the BBQ sauce, starting with 1 tbsp at a time and tasting as you go. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Can be made 2-3 days in advance and frozen if preferred.

This chili is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I pureed some carrots and celery and added them to the chili. My kids didn't even notice they were eating vegetables.

I love how versatile this chili is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add some chopped bell peppers and corn to mine.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover beef. I made it with some leftover steak and it was delicious. The chipotle peppers and coffee give it a really unique flavor.

This chili is the perfect comfort food. It's hearty, filling, and so flavorful. I love serving it with a side of cornbread and a dollop of sour cream.

This chili is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on the weekend and then reheated it during the week for lunch or dinner. It was just as good the second time around.

This chili is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty and filling, and the spices warm you up from the inside out. I served it with a side of sour cream and shredded cheese, and it was delicious.

I love the smokiness of this chili. I used smoked paprika and it gave it a really nice flavor. I also added some chopped bacon, which made it even better.

This chili is amazing! I made it for a potluck and it was gone in minutes. Everyone loved it, even the people who don't usually like chili. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This smoky BBQ chili was a hit with my family! It had just the right amount of spice and smokiness, and the beef was fall-apart tender. I will definitely be making this again.
