Spicy 15 Bean Chili

You know what I love about chili.
Everything, really.
The versatility. The simplicity. The "fill-icity." (How filling it is...and how it satisfies the bottomless pit bellies that sit around my dinner table every night.) The cost effect-icity.

Servings - 8 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 bag 15 bean soup, chili flavor
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 small jalapeno chopped
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Soak the beans in large bowl with water overnight. Or in a bowl with hot water for at least 2 hours.
  • Cook the beans as directed in a large pot for about an hour with the chili flavoring. Drain once beans are tender, saving 3 cups of the liquid the beans cooked in. (I just didn't drain it completely, leaving some of the liquid in the pan to then pour in with the cooked beef.)
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the chopped onion, chopped jalapeno and ground beef. Brown the beef and drain if necessary.
  • Return to the pan and add the cooked beans plus reserved liquid, the crushed tomatoes and the spices. Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve Spicy 15 Bean Chili with side of favorite veggies.
