As promised Easy Chili

  Sorry I don't have another picture of my chili however, you can view it on the Cheese post.
Growing up we LOVED my moms chili. It was SIMPLE, FAST, EASY, and YUMMY! Over time I have taken her recipe and made my own. Here is what I have come up with. I hope that you give it a shot

A quick side note that if you want to start cooking, and basically just know how to open a can, this is your recipe!!! Also great for kids who want or need to learn how to start cooking.

 Easy Chili
Here is what you will need.

1-4 Tbsp of Chili Powder (depending on how spicy you want it)
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast (if you want it cheesy. If not omit this this however, it makes it a little bit creamy)
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika  (if you want it a little bacon flavor in it,  taste it when all is incorporated it may need a little more.)
Salt to taste.
Also if you like it really hot add in some Chipotle powder to your liking.

2- 15.25oz Cans Black Beans
2- 15.25oz Cans Pinto Beans
2- 15.25oz Can Red Kidney Bean
(I try and use no salt added beans) I open and rinse my beans but you do not have to do this. Draining works just fine also.
1 28oz can diced Tomatoes
1 15ish oz can of Caned Tomato Sauce
Open Tomatoes and set aside.

1 Large Onion
1 Pepper Green is pretty but any color will do.
Chop the onion and pepper. It doesn't have to be small unless you don't like big chunks then dice them for all I care. It is all good!!!
 Throw this into a large pot and add in some water or veggie broth. Cook until onions are translucent.
Add in your Beans, Tomatoes, and seasonings. Mix well and heat it up. I like to cook on high if you do this just make sure that you stir the bottom and just heat it until it is warm to your liking.

*Note: If I need a pizza type dinner I omit the veggie part add and open the beans, tomatoes and spices throw them all into a big pot heat, and serve. This type of ultra fast chili is best with rice, or potatoes.
