Craig's Three Bean Chili

"A healthy and delicious chili that my boyfriend created to help us get through the cold weather here in Toronto. It happens to be vegan, but could also be adapted to include meat. This recipe fits nicely into our student budget, but doesn't taste like it!"

  1. Loved this! Super easy to make too. This is such a nice, hearty meal for a fall evening. I LOVE the idea of using BBQ sauce to add flavor. Also I like that it's healthy...until you top it with sour cream and cheddar like I did...
     
  2. This was perfect with 1 pound of lean hamburger meat served on a big baked potato topped with grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream
     
  3. I added a lb of hamburger to the dish and used creole seasoning, cumin, & paprika for my spices (omitted the bbq sauce). I also diced up some carrots and green peppers and tossed in a few green beans from the last days of the garden. Definitely a keeper, thanks Marina K!
     
  4. This is a really complex, interesting chili, even better with a little sprinkle of cheese. It IS very sweet-tasting, though, so be warned. If you'd like it less sweet, definitely cut down on the barbecue sauce. Also, if you drain the beans like I did, you will need to add some water.
     
  5. This was a great weeknight chili, and it was surprisingly a lot thicker than I was expecting. I did add the optional barbecue sauce which I think added some depth to the dish along with a bit of sweetness. There was enough leftovers for two more nights - great if you're on a tight budget. Try the leftovers with Tostitos Scoops, sprinkled with some cheese - Awesome!
