Ingredients

 

 

 

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion(s), chopped

1 medium bell pepper(s), chopped

1 medium jalapeno pepper(s), seeded and minced

4 medium garlic clove(s), minced

1 cup vegetable broth

32 oz canned crushed tomatoes

14 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained

14 oz canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 Tbsp ground cumin

2 Tbsp chili powder

1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce

1 tsp kosher salt

1 cup refried beans

 

 

 

Instructions

 

 

 

Over moderate heat, add oil to a deep pot. Add onion

and peppers. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes to soften

vegetables, adding garlic at the last minute.

 

 

Deglaze pan with broth. (Note: To deglaze, heat the

broth in the pan and then swirl it around to loosen up

the browned bits of food on the bottom.) Add tomatoes,

black beans and red kidney beans, stirring to combine.

 

 

Season chili with cumin, chili powder, hot sauce and

salt.

 

 

Thicken chili by stirring in refried beans. Simmer

over low heat about 5 to 10 minutes longer, then serve

up bowls of chili with optional toppings like shredded

cheese, chopped green onions and reduced-fat sour

cream, if desired. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per

serving.
