My infamous Chili

You know when it is really cold outside or cold inside that you really want to turn on the heat but really want to save it for later on. Also it was snow outside all weekend and now it is stop. I don't like the snow very much. It is not my favorite thing of all. Yes, I know it is pretty but I dislike to drive in it. Anyway, this cold weather made me want to bring out my most favorite soup which is Chili. There are so many different kind of chili that you could make. I decided to make my own chili with my little inspire of my invention for this. I called this Black Bean Chili. For some reason, I just love black bean so I decided to make this. Here is my recipe that I want to share with you. It is very easy and simple that is not required a lot of time. Because you are going to cook it in crock pot. Here is my recipe:

Black Bean Chili (Yield: 4 servings)
Ingredients:

• 1 can of black bean
• 1 can of chili-ready bean
• 1 onion, 1/4 inch dice
• 1 small can of tomato sauce
• 2 small can of tomato paste
• 1 can of tomato, diced (I recommend fire-roast tomato)
• 1 lb of ground beef/turkey/ or any
• chili powder for tasting
• to taste = salt and pepper

Directions

1. Cook the ground beef first to brown it. Remove the ground beef as drain the fat. Saute the onions until soft or little of brown in little bit of fat. Add the ground beef and then add tomato paste. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. 
2. Add the black bean, chili-ready bean, tomato sauce, tomato diced in the crock pot. Mix well. Then add the ground beef/onion/tomato mixture in the crock pot. Cook in low heat and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
3. Add the chili powder, salt, and pepper to correct the flavor in chili.

You can add the cheese to it or making the cornbread. It is all up to you. Enjoy!
