Cooking Instructions

Peel, core, and dice your Yellow Onion (1) and add it to a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat with the Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) . Saute until the onions are translucent and fragrant for about 5 minutes.

Drain your Black Beans (1 can) , Red Kidney Beans (1 can) , and Pinto Beans (1 can) and add them to the pot with the Crushed Tomatoes (1 can) , Vegetable Broth (1 cup) , and Chili Seasoning (1 packet) . Stir to combine.

Turn your heat all the way down to low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring frequently (every 15 minutes or so) so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.

After 45 minutes, assess the consistency of your chili. If it looks too liquidy, remove the cover and continue to simmer on low until desired consistency is achieved (this shouldn’t tackle longer than 10 minutes). If you’re happy with the consistency of your chili, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool before serving. Enjoy!

Author's Notes

The spice level in your chili will depend on the chili seasoning packet you choose! Walmart carries everything from mild to hot. Tailor it to your taste by selecting your favorite.

The minimum cooking time for this chili is 45 minutes, but it can stay on the stove for up to 2 hours. The longer it cooks, the better.
