Bean Chili

Ingredients

• 1 can red kidney beans, drained
• 1 can black beans, drained
• 2 cans crushed tomatoes
• 1 small can of tomato paste
• 2 cloves garlic, diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tbsp. olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp. thyme, basil, oregano, or other spice

Procedure

1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large pan.
2. Add garlic and onion and cook until the onion is translucent (more clear than white).
3. Add peppers and saute for a few minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and spices.
4. When mixture is bubbling, reduce heat to simmer and add beans. Cover and simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes.
