Multi-Bean Chili

Good basic recipe after minor tweaks I really liked this but I made multiple changes to the recipe. I added a diced red pepper to the onion at the beginning. I also replaced the white beans with chili beans. On another reviewers advice, I added a can of corn. I didn't find it nearly spicy enough so I also diced some jalapeno and threw it in as well. I used vegetable broth instead of water and I think I only put in about 2 cups and it seemed like plenty. I then let it simmer for about 2 hours covered so that the flavors would blend together. Before serving I squeezed in a little lime juice and topped it with shredded cheese. It was a pretty basic chili but very satisfying and tasty. Pros: Very easy to make, good fall/winter dinner Cons: Recipe needs some changes to add flavor and spice

I loved this chili. I made this exactly as the recipe stated and did not have any problems with the chili being watery. I did not eat this meal right away. I portioned it out for lunches and found it to be awesome reheated. Very flavorful and filling meal.

I followed other's comments and added 2 cups of chicken stock, rather than 3 cups of water. Also, I cooked it for way longer than 10-15 minutes to let it cook down a bit. And, I also added corn as someone suggested and I even added some diced carrots (lot of vegetables for my kids!). In the end, my kids, ages 3 1/2 and 1 1/2, loved this dish. I served it over brown rice. And I made extra and stuck it in the freezer to pull out when I don't have anything prepared for them. Next time I make it, I might add some crumbled turkey sausage, but even without it, it was a hit. Valerie, Scarsdale, NY
