This spicy, meatless chili is a wonderful dish to have during the winter months. I like to serve this with a slice of corn bread on the side.—Chris Moyers, Felton, California
Ingredients:
2 cups dried pinto beans
4 cups water
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
2 medium carrots, shredded
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
shredded cheddar cheese, optional
Directions:
1. Rinse and sort beans. Soak overnight or use quick-soak method. Discard liquid. Add the water; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until the beans are almost tender, about 1 hour.
2. Add all remaining ingredients except cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours or until beans are tender and flavors have blended, stirring occasionally. Top with cheese if desired. Yield: 3-1/2 quarts.
