Three-Bean Chili

This is a super fast and very thick chili which I served it in homemade bread bowls. Impressive!

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      teaspoons     red wine

   1      cup           chopped green bell pepper

  28      ounces        canned crushed tomatoes
  16      ounces        canned pinto beans -- rinsed and drained
                        (or 2 cups of cooked beans)
  16      ounces        canned black beans -- rinsed and drained
                        (or 2 cups of cooked beans)
  16      ounces        canned cannellini beans -- rinsed and drained
                        (white kidney beans)
                        (or 2 cups of cooked beans)
  10      ounces        frozen corn
                        (or one 12-ounce canned corn -- drained)
   2      tablespoons   chili powder
                        (more if you like it extra spicy)
   1 1/2  teaspoons     dried oregano
   1      teaspoon      ground cumin
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   2      teaspoons     red wine vinegar

Makes 6 servings.  (1 1/2 cups each serving)

One of the thickest, richest chilies around, this one is also quick and easy. Just chop a few veggies, open a few cans, and cook for 20 minutes. It's a great dish to throw together for a casual dinner when unexpected guests drop in.

Heat red wine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes, until tender. Add small amounts of water, a few tablespoons at a time, to prevent sticking.

Add remaining ingredients, mixing well. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Then cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir several times while cooking.

Quick tip: If you keep chopped onions and green peppers in the freezer, you have a head start.
