Three Bean Chili
Ok, you all know by now that I get bored and start
experimenting. Actually we have been making baked beans with a
mixture of beans for a number of years, so a similar chili
seemed like a natural extension. Other than the beans, it's a
pretty standard recipe.
1/2 c Kidney Beans
1/2 c Black Beans
1/2 c White Beans
6 c Water
1 lb Ground Beef
1 md Onion,Chopped
1/2 Green Bell Peppers,Chopped
2 can No Salt Added Tomatoes
2 can No Salt Added Tomato Sauce
1 c Water
2 T Chili Powder
1/2 t Cumin
1/2 t Garlic Powder
1/2 t Oregano
1 T Vinegar
Place beans in 6 cups water in a large pan, bring to boiling,
boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to stand 1 hour.
Return beans to heat and simmer about 1/2 hour or until almost
tender. Meanwhile brown meat, onion and green pepper. Drain
beans. Add beans, meat mixture, tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1 cup
water, spices and vinegar to large pot. Simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours
until beans are done and chili is desired consistency. Stir
occasionally and add more water if needed.
