Meatless Monday: Meat-Free 3 Bean Chili!

Today'a weather got all the way up to 61 degrees! Boy was I absolutely ecstatic. I can not wait for the weather to get warm again. Unfortunately, more cold weather and snow are headed toward the East Coast. So here is great bean chili, with no meat, perfect for Meatless Monday or any other day of the week.

Meat-Free 3 Bean Chili!

You Will Need: 

1 pack of chili mix

1 can of black beans

1 can of light red kidney beans

1 can of pinto beans

1 can of tomato sauce

1 can of petite diced tomatoes 

1 bay leaf

1 pinch of garlic salt

1 pinch of onion powder

1 pinch of basil 

2 tbs of butter

Directions: 

1. Pour all 4 cans into a large soup pot. 

2. Stir in the garlic salt, onion powder, basil, and bay leaf. 

3. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. 

4. Add the butter and the chili mix, allow to boil for another 2 minutes. 

This is the chili seasoning mix that I use. As you can see it is a mild flavor, but you can use a spicier version if you wish.

6. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 6 minutes. 

Serve and enjoy!

This chili was full of flavor and really hearty! With snow in the forecast for tomorrow, I'll be happy to have leftovers to keep me warm tomorrow!
