Bean Chili

Recipe courtesy of Fizzy’s Lunch Lab

Fizzy’s Tip: Try black turtle, white cannellini, or garbanzo beans, or a combination in place of the kidney beans. The chili can be garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or basil; sour cream or yogurt; sliced scallions; yellow and red bell peppers; chopped black olives; chopped fresh tomatoes; and/or grated cheddar cheese.
