Five Bean Chili

I love this recipe because of the different types of beans. Again this is my own creation. Michael and I love to make a big pot of chili and freeze most of it to use on days when we don't have time to cook.. He is not giving out his secret recipe so here is mine.

Chop 2 onions
Chop 2 red peppers,
Dice 6 cloves of garlic
Dice 2 hot peppers
Cook in 2 Tbsp olive oil
Add one big can of tomatoes 102 oz (I get a great deal on this size can at Rulli Brothers Grocery

Add :
1 can of Pinto Beans
1 can of Kidney Beans
1 can of Navy Beans
1 can of Great Northern Beans
1 can of Canneloni Beans

Seasoning - chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, cumin 1 tablespoon each, then cook for 30 minutes, taste and season as needed. I usually cook my chili on low for at least an hour to absorb all of the flavors.

If I add meat I will use ground chicken from Rulli Bros as they grind up the chicken at the store. No pink slime for me. Right now we are in a vegetarian mode so no meat. Cook up your meat of choice, turkey, chicken or hamburger, drain and add when adding the beans.
