Black Bean Beef Chili Recipe

By Amanda Sanders


Everybody likes a good chili, hot and delicious. Sometimes you don't have enough time to prepare it as it should be prepared, in a slow cooker, simmering there for hours. But, there is a much quicker version that tastes equally good. If you are trying to find the best black bean beef chili recipe, try these two.

So, for preparing this lovely dish you will need two onions, finely chopped, approximately four garlic cloves, depending on your taste, chopped or minced, four nice slices of smoked bacon, one pound of ground beef, one can of black beans and twice as much of peeled, crushed plum tomatoes, one teaspoon of chili powder, cumin, unsweetened cocoa and dry oregano, salt and pepper, olive oil, one tablespoon of sweet paprika powder and a cup of good beef broth.

In a large pan, on medium heat, brown slices of smoked bacon on a little bit of olive oil, together with garlic. Remove bacon and garlic from the pan, add more olive oil and chopped onions. After a while, add chopped sweet paprika and a little bit of salt. Cook for a few minutes, and add ground beef. Cook for another five to ten minutes, and add rinsed and drained black beans and previously removed bacon and garlic.

After a while, add spices and continue cooking on lowered heat for 20 minutes and your delicious meal is done. You can serve it in tortillas, on toasted bread, with various sliced vegetables or in a bowl, covered with sour cream and grated cheese, it's up to you.Green salad goes great with this dish, by the way.

The first recipe is really delicious, but some people say there is nothing like slowly cooked one. You might need more time, but it is definitely worth it. Maybe you should consider preparing double size, and keep a bowl or two of this delicious dish in your freezer. For larger group of people this amount will probably not be enough, anyway.

Slow cooker chili ingredients: four chopped onions, six clove garlic, minced, two large carrots, sliced, six slices smoked bacon, two pounds beef, diced, salt and red pepper, 1 green and one red sweet peppers, chopped, 1 can of beef broth, one tablespoon smoked paprika, oregano and cumin, three teaspoons chili powder, olive oil, three cans plum tomatoes, two cans black beans, 1 tablespoon red wine.

Start with a large pan, olive oil and chopped onions. They should be well fried and soft, before adding carrots, garlic and sweet peppers. Cook for a while and add meat and bacon. Cook for approximately ten minutes and add all other ingredients, including spices. Place this mixture into the slow cooker and cook for another two hours, or until done.

It all depends on your personal taste, but you can also grease one large pan, spread some cooked chili on, cover it with crushed plum tomatoes from a can, sour cream and grated hard cheese, and bake it in the oven for maybe 30 to 40 minutes, and you will get another interesting dish you will certainly find to be delicious. It's great served with fresh vegetables and mash potatoes.
