Million-Bean Chili

Hey everyone. Today I was craving a hearty lunch that would keep me satisfied all night at work so I made my favorite million-bean chili. In fact, this recipe is vegan!

Million- Bean Chili
Time from start to finish: 25 minutes

1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large Onion
2 tablespoons minced Garlic
2 pickled Jalapenos
1 can of Black Beans
1 can of Red Kidney Beans
1 can of Small Red Beans
1 can of Chick Peas (Garbanzo Beans)
1 can of Fat Free Refried Black Beans
1 large can of Crushed Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Cumin
7 shakes of Frank's Hot Sauce (or something similar)

In a large, deep pot, heat the olive oil. Chop the onion, garlic, & jalapenos. Add them to the pot. Let them sweat a little & soften. Make sure you constantly stir ir & even reduce the heat if necessary to ensure the onions & garlic do not burn. Add everything else over medium heat. Stir then cover for about 5 minutes on low heat. Serve over a salad, brown rice, pasta, or a la carte! Enjoy!



The onion, garlic, & jalapenos are sweating in a large pot.
After all the ingredients are added the consistency should become perfect.
A delicious bowl of Million-Bean Chili topped with fresh basil.
Dig in!
