Bean & Corn Chili

Essential Everyday

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped green bell peppers

1 (15 ounce) can reduced sodium black beans, rinsed and drained

1 (15 ounce) can reduced sodium pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 (15.25 ounce) can no salt added whole kernel corn, drained

2 (14.5 ounce) cans no salt added diced tomatoes, undrained

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon chili powder

½-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

In large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and peppers; saute until softened (about 3-5 minutes).

Always such a happy smell. :) 

Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil.

I misread the recipe and only bought one can of tomatoes. Honestly I'm sure sure that adding another one would have made a huge difference.

Reduce heat; simmer until heated through (about 10-15 minutes).

Meatless chili, ready for action.

My Rating: 2/5 "This has nice spicy heat to it, but there's not much flavor other than that. It's weird - it's spicy and bland at the same time. I'm always really glad to see a nice substantial veggie dish like this, but flavor-wise this one literally didn't bring much to the table. I'm usually Captain Never-Waste-Food, but I couldn't bring myself to eat the leftovers of this."
