  • Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic; saute until onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  • Add reserved black beans, 1/2 cup bean liquid, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend and chili thickens, about 15 minutes.

  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle chili into bowls to serve.

Cook's Note:

For a chunkier dish, use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce.

Great flavor and very quick to make! Next time I'm going to use a mixture of beans since it ended up being black-bean heavy. Read More

Giving this 3 stars because it is tasty for what it is. Vegetable soup. This IS NOT Chili. chili - (noun) A stew made of meat and usually tomatoes, spiced with chili peppers or chili powder. Chili made of meat. Technically it does not even have beans in it. There is no such thing as vegetarian chili. Read More

My sister and I made this chili recipe twice so far, including today. We loved it and so did our family. It’s definitely a great comfort food. It taste like a salsa. We served it with sour cream, cilantro, cheddar cheese, and Doritos. It tasted so good! Thanks for the recipe! Read More
