• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 11

ingredients

• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 4 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (10 ounce) box frozen corn, thawed
• 2 cups long-grain white rice
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 tablespoons sour cream

directions

1. In a large, heavy pot, sauté onion in oil over medium-low heat for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until onion is tender. Add chili powder and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and 2 cups water.
2. Gently stir in beans. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Add corn; simmer an additional 10 minutes. Cook rice following package directions, adding salt.
3. To serve, divide rice among 8 plates.
4. Top each with chili, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
5. *** I added some jalapeno peppers for a little "zip" of taste. Black olives would also be a great topper as well. Make it your own -- add whatever you like as a topper.
