Nothing fills the belly and warms the soul like a bowl of chili beans
at your favorite diner. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili
powder in this recipe to suit your taste.
Chili Beans
1 lb (450 g) dry red kidney beans
1 medium onion, chopped
2 - 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 lb (125 g) bacon, chopped
1 Tbs (15 ml) chili powder, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup (250 ml) red wine or chicken broth
3 cups (750 ml) chicken broth
1 can (16 oz, 450 g) chopped tomatoes
Soak the beans in water overnight. Drain and combine with the
remaining ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil and reduce the
heat to low. Simmer covered for 4 hours, or until the beans are
tender and the sauce has thickened, adding more chicken broth if
necessary. Serves 6 to 8.
