By Amanda Sanders


There are so many great recipes you can enjoy in, but sometimes you simply have not enough time to prepare some of them. So, here you will find one black bean beef chili recipe you can prepare in one hour or so, and another one, that takes more time to prepare, but it's worth it. You won't be disappointed with either.

For the fast version you need to chop two medium onions, 4 cloves garlic and one nice red sweet pepper. You also need to prepare one pound of fresh ground beef, one can black beans, rinsed and drained, one teaspoon of cumin, dry oregano and cocoa, unsweetened, twice as much chili powder, one large tablespoon of smoked paprika powder, olive oil, salt, pepper and beef broth, maybe a cup or two.

In a large pan, on medium heat, brown slices of smoked bacon on a little bit of olive oil, together with garlic. Remove bacon and garlic from the pan, add more olive oil and chopped onions. After a while, add chopped sweet paprika and a little bit of salt. Cook for a few minutes, and add ground beef. Cook for another five to ten minutes, and add rinsed and drained black beans and previously removed bacon and garlic.

After a while, add spices and continue cooking on lowered heat for 20 minutes and your delicious meal is done. You can serve it in tortillas, on toasted bread, with various sliced vegetables or in a bowl, covered with sour cream and grated cheese, it's up to you.Green salad goes great with this dish, by the way.

Preparing the same dish in your slow cooker requires more time, but it tastes simply great this way. If you prepare larger quantity, you can put it into your freezer and serve whenever you feel like it. This recipe is equally simple, it just takes more time to cook. It is great for various gatherings and quite hot, but you probably expect it to be hot anyway.

Slow cooker chili ingredients: four chopped onions, six clove garlic, minced, two large carrots, sliced, six slices smoked bacon, two pounds beef, diced, salt and red pepper, 1 green and one red sweet peppers, chopped, 1 can of beef broth, one tablespoon smoked paprika, oregano and cumin, three teaspoons chili powder, olive oil, three cans plum tomatoes, two cans black beans, 1 tablespoon 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.
