Susan’s Homemade Chili with Beans

Susan’s Homemade Chili with Beans

1 lb dry beans (Kidney, Pinto or White beans)  Soak  beans overnight, drain liquid, put fresh water over beans, and cook until tender.  Drain completely.

1 Bell Pepper seeded and chopped and 1 onion chopped  ( or you can buy frozen Bell Pepper and Onion Mix at Save-a- Lot)

1 lb Ground Chuck/Beef Cooked and crumbled.  Drain off any fat.

1 can of Stewed Tomatoes or Del Monte’s Chili Tomatoes

1 No. 10 Can of Angela Mia All Purpose Crushed Tomatoes ( Sam’s Club carries this), or 2-3 large cans of Tomato Puree

4 T. Tony Chachere’s The Original Creole Seasoning

1 T. garlic powder or fresh crushed garlic

In a large soup pot, combine the ingredients and let simmer until done.  About ½ hour.  Make sure to stir every once in a while to keep from sticking to bottom of pan.  You can also put everything in a crock pot and slow cook over 4 hours.

Serve with grated cheddar cheese and crackers!  Enjoy!
