Introduction

This chili is wonderful! This is from Food Network. I modify it slightly depending on what I have on hand (beer vs. water, more refired beans, etc.) The recipe is calculated for 8 12 oz. servings with chicken broth. You could certainly make smaller servings if you're interested in reducing calories. This chili is wonderful! This is from Food Network.

Over moderate heat, add oil to a deep pot and combine onion, peppers, and garlic. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes to soften vegetables. Deglaze pan with beer or broth, add tomatoes, black beans, red kidney beans, and stirring to combine.

    Incredible!
    This is my go to chili recipe! It is so thick and wonderful. I change it up a lot (using olive oil spray instead of the 2tbsp & leaving out the jalapeno when I make it for the kids) and put a little fat free on top while it's still steaming hot! Yum-O!! - 4/13/11

    Incredible!
    I make this recipe whenever I am craving chili. It is delicious and so easy to make! I sometimes also add ground turkey breast if I want a meaty chili. YUMMMMM - 10/4/10
