This Black Bean Chili was super easy to make - thanks to my dear friend, Mr. Crockpot. I love the functionality of the crockpot - throw everything in, set to "low", arrive home from work to a home-cooked meal. yum.
This recipe used a ton of different types of beans - which I LOVE. I, however, do not love the gross oil and added chemicals to the beans in the cans. After rinsing and cleaning them they looked much better...
But I think after this experience, I will be buying dried beans. Better for the earth and less gross things added = win/win!
After cooking for close to 10 hours - the chili looked like this:
...and closer look
I topped mine with a little fat-free sour cream, while J opted for his go-to Frank's Hot Sauce. Truthfully - I am not big on spice - but I added a bit to mine - and it totally kicked it up a notch.
J really enjoyed it - so it's safe to say this will be made again. Plus, it was great to come home to a warm meal after the cold and rainy day we had!
