Serves
4

1 10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 6 oz can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teason garlic powder
1 can, or 2 cups fresh or frozen and thawed, corn kernels
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 large zucchini squash, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 16 oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked brown rice

 

 

Methods/steps

Mix diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings in a large skillet or dutch oven.

Cook on low, just until sauce begins to simmer.

Add remaining ingrediants, cook 5 - 10 minutes on low heat, until heated through.  If Chili is too 'dry', add more diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, or prepared salsa.

Additional Tips

We choose to not saute most of our vegetables as a general rule, this recipe included.  The reduced cooking time keeps the vegetables 'crisper', full of flavor, and reduces the amount of oil used in cooking overall.

If you prefer to have your vegetables fully cooked, make the following changes to the recipe:

Saute the onion and peppers in a large skillet or dutch oven until lightly browned (about 5 minutes). 

Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings. 

When sauce mixture is just about to boil, add remaining ingrediants and heat through.
