Delicious Black Bean Beef Chili Recipe

By Amanda Sanders


There are so many great recipes you can enjoy in, but sometimes you simply have not enough time to prepare some of them. So, here you will find one black bean beef chili recipe you can prepare in one hour or so, and another one, that takes more time to prepare, but it's worth it. You won't be disappointed with either.

Ingredients: two medium size onions, chopped, four cloves garlic, chopped, 1 sweet pepper chopped, four slices of smoked bacon, 1 pound ground beef, 1 can black beans, 2 cans crushed tomatoes, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon paprika powder, 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa, half of a can of a beef broth, olive oil, red pepper and salt.

First, you need a large pan, half of a total amount of olive oil and bacon and garlic. Brown the bacon, add garlic and then remove these ingredients from your pan. Add the rest of the oil, add onions and cook until soft. After that, add chopped sweet peppers and salt and cook for another few minutes. Now you can add ground beef, cook for ten minutes and add other ingredients, including fried bacon and garlic.

When the meat is soft, add spices and cook for another few minutes, and it is done. Taste your dish and add more spices if you think it is necessary. You can serve it with toasted bread or tortillas, with fresh salad or vegetables, or simply in a bowl, with grated cheese and sour cream, depending on your personal taste.

The first recipe is really delicious, but some people say there is nothing like slowly cooked one. You might need more time, but it is definitely worth it. Maybe you should consider preparing double size, and keep a bowl or two of this delicious dish in your freezer. For larger group of people this amount will probably not be enough, anyway.

Slow cooker chili ingredients: four chopped onions, six clove garlic, minced, two large carrots, sliced, six slices smoked bacon, two pounds beef, diced, salt and red pepper, 1 green and one red sweet peppers, chopped, 1 can of beef broth, one tablespoon smoked paprika, oregano and cumin, three teaspoons chili powder, olive oil, three cans plum tomatoes, two cans black beans, 1 tablespoon red wine.

Start with a large pan, olive oil and chopped onions. They should be well fried and soft, before adding carrots, garlic and sweet peppers. Cook for a while and add meat and bacon. Cook for approximately ten minutes and add all other ingredients, including spices. Place this mixture into the slow cooker and cook for another two hours, or until done.

If you have some leftovers, and you don't know how to serve them, here is one simple idea for you. Grease the pan, put your leftovers in, cover with crushed tomatoes from can, add sour cream on and cover with grated cheese. Place everything into preheated oven and bake for half an hour or so. Serve with salad, mash potato or fresh vegetables, you will most certainly enjoy in this meal.
