Eric’s 4-Bean Chili

This is my chili recipe. I have had several requests so here it is. You should know I rarely keep to it.

• 1 8oz can dice tomatoes
• 1 15oz can of Black Beans
• 1 15oz can of Red Beans
• 1 15oz can of Pinto Beans
• 1 15oz can of Kidney Beans
• 1 4oz can of dice green chiles
• 1 8oz can of tomato sauce
• 4 fresh jalapenos
• 4-5 cloves of garlic (about 1/2 a head)
• 1 onion
• 2 teaspoons of cumin powder
• 3 tablespoons of chili powder
• 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of black pepper
• 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of Cayenne Red Chile Powder

Directions

1. Brown the meat
2. mix all cans (don’t drain) and meat
3. chop and add the veggies
