Black Bean & Pinto Chili

Our favorite easy chili. This only takes 20-30 minutes to get on the table!

From: Is It Soup Yet?

Ingredients:
~1 lb. ground beef
~1/2 cup chopped onion
~1/4 tsp. garlic powder
~1 (15oz.) can black beans, drained
~1 (15oz.) can pinto beans, drained
~1 (28oz.) can diced tomatoes
~1 (6oz.) can tomato paste
~1 and 1/3 cups water
~1 and 1/2 tsp. salt
~1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
~1 tsp. chili powder
*I also add 1 can of white corn and 1 can of mild chili beans to this. I think it adds great flavor and a sweet crunch with the corn.

1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes.
3. Serve topped with your choice of shredded cheese, sour cream, or scallions.
