By Amanda Sanders


You will find numerous great recipes for different dishes. Some of these dishes can be easily prepared while others require more time and effort. In any case, you might find this delicious black bean beef chili recipe quite interesting, and it is really easy to prepare. For those with more time, there is another recipe down there.

So, for preparing this lovely dish you will need two onions, finely chopped, approximately four garlic cloves, depending on your taste, chopped or minced, four nice slices of smoked bacon, one pound of ground beef, one can of black beans and twice as much of peeled, crushed plum tomatoes, one teaspoon of chili powder, cumin, unsweetened cocoa and dry oregano, salt and pepper, olive oil, one tablespoon of sweet paprika powder and a cup of good beef broth.

First, put some of your olive oil in some large pan and fry bacon slices with garlic for a few seconds, and then remove them from the pan. Add remaining olive oil and chopped onions and fry for a while, until yellow and soft. Add peppers and salt and continue cooking for a few minutes, and then add ground meat. After browned, add other ingredients and continue cooking over low heat.

When the meat is soft, add spices and cook for another few minutes, and it is done. Taste your dish and add more spices if you think it is necessary. You can serve it with toasted bread or tortillas, with fresh salad or vegetables, or simply in a bowl, with grated cheese and sour cream, depending on your personal taste.

The first recipe is really delicious, but some people say there is nothing like slowly cooked one. You might need more time, but it is definitely worth it. Maybe you should consider preparing double size, and keep a bowl or two of this delicious dish in your freezer. For larger group of people this amount will probably not be enough, anyway.

So, for this slow cooker chili you need to chop four medium sized onions, two larger carrots, one red and one green sweet pepper and at least six cloves of garlic. You can use two pounds of diced or ground meat. You also need six slices of good smoked bacon, three cans crushed plum tomatoes, beef broth, cumin, oregano and cocoa, one teaspoon each and two teaspoons of hot chili powder, as well as one tablespoon, or two, of nice smoked paprika powder, salt, pepper, olive oil and, at the end, a spoon of red wine.

First, you have to fry your onions on olive oil in some large pan. When yellow, add carrots, chopped peppers, salt and garlic. After that, you can add meat and bacon. When it is brown, add spices and broth, beans and tomatoes. Put everything into the slow cooker and let it simmer for another two hours or so. Everything should be soft and tender.

Here is a little additional dish you can make using the leftovers. Put some olive oil in a pan, add chili, cover with canned crushed tomatoes, sour cream and grated hard cheese. Bake in preheated oven for up to forty minutes, and it is done. Serve with mash potato, salad or various vegetables and enjoy.
