Black bean chili is feeling the bone broth love. This week: a simple weeknight recipe that’s good to the gut.
Black bean chili is truly a staple all its own. It’s great as is, on top of nachos, eggs, chili-cheese fries, or perched atop a hot dog accompanied by cheese and onions. What you don’t love is trying to find a chili that’s made with real food ingredients, integrity, and doesn’t come in a can. Here’s my take on re-creating the classic Hormel Chili with Beans. I went with black beans instead of kidney but feel free to use whatever beans you prefer, or no beans at all.
Bon appétit!
