Delicious Black Bean Beef Chili Recipe

By Amanda Sanders


There are so many great recipes you can enjoy in, but sometimes you simply have not enough time to prepare some of them. So, here you will find one black bean beef chili recipe you can prepare in one hour or so, and another one, that takes more time to prepare, but it's worth it. You won't be disappointed with either.

For the fast version you need to chop two medium onions, 4 cloves garlic and one nice red sweet pepper. You also need to prepare one pound of fresh ground beef, one can black beans, rinsed and drained, one teaspoon of cumin, dry oregano and cocoa, unsweetened, twice as much chili powder, one large tablespoon of smoked paprika powder, olive oil, salt, pepper and beef broth, maybe a cup or two.

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 few minutes, add other ingredients and spices and leave everything cooking on low heat for twenty minutes or so. Add more salt or more other ingredients if you, for example, like your chili to be really hot. Serve with fresh sliced vegetables and green salad, tortilla or toasted bread. Some people prefer serving this specialty with grated hard cheese and sour cream instead.

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.

For this tasty slow cooker chili you will need three to four onions, depending on their size, two larger carrots, maybe six or seven garlic cloves, six slices of good smoked bacon, two pounds of diced beef, one green and one red chopped sweet peppers, one whole can of good broth, olive oil, cumin, oregano and cocoa powder, unsweetened, one teaspoon each, one tablespoon smoked paprika and three teaspoons of chili powder, salt, pepper, two cans of black beans, three cans tomatoes and a spoon of good red wine.

In a large pan, cook olive oil and salted chopped onions until soft and yellow, add garlic, carrots and sweet peppers and cook for another five minutes. Add diced meat and smoked bacon and cook until browned. Add smoked red paprika, spices and all other ingredients. Transfer everything into your slow cooker and cook for at least two hours on low heat.

If you have some leftovers, and you don't know how to serve them, here is one simple idea for you. Grease the pan, put your leftovers in, cover with crushed tomatoes from can, add sour cream on and cover with grated cheese. Place everything into preheated oven and bake for half an hour or so. Serve with salad, mash potato or fresh vegetables, you will most certainly enjoy in this meal.
