Smoky Black Bean Chili
- Ready In:
- 1hr 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 12
- Yields:
-
1 really big pot
- Serves:
- 6-10
ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can Campbell's cheddar cheese soup
- 1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce (see note in step 4!)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
directions
- Brown the meat on the stove. If you're using chicken/turkey, you'll probably want to put some oil in the pan first, but beef will make its own grease really quickly.
- Dice the onion. Here, you can either sauté it with the meat or you can chuck it right into the pot raw. You can also set aside a little to sprinkle on top of the chili raw, for serving, as you would with shredded cheese.
- Put all the ingredients in your crock pot; stir.
- IMPORTANT: I don't actually measure anything when I make this, I just upend the bottles. So I'm totally guessing on the spice/W. sauce measurements. Please do adapt those to your own taste; I don't insist that I got them right at all.
- Turn on the crock pot - low 6-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours, or until you really can't stand the anticipation anymore. If you do it in a big pot on the stove, let it simmer at least a half hour, IMO. Longer if you can; the longer it simmers the better it tastes, but sometimes you just can't wait, y'know?
