Black Bean Chili Recipe

Black Bean Chili Recipe for Fall. Nothing beats an easy chili recipe when you’re tailgating or letting a pot simmer all afternoon while you’re watching football.

Plus, I always make enough of it to jar up and serve during busy times with school schedules and sports for a quick meal during back to school season.

Dress-Up Your Chili

This recipe is the bare-bones Black Chili… You can add so much to chili to make it the exact way you want. Some ingredients we like to add – Cholula Hot Sauce (or any type of hot sauce), Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel Seasoning, black pepper, garlic salt, sour cream, shredded cheese, or onion powder.

Black Bean Chili Recipe as A Teaching Tool

Chili, any kind of chili, is a great intro too cooking for kids interested in helping out in the kitchen. It might be the perfect food to make because they see the entire preparation of the chili from chopping veggies, to the patience of the slow cooking, to the addition of the spices and flavors IE – what’s too much? what’s not enough? It’s the best “dash of this, dash of that” recipe for kids to try.
