Mrs. Coller's Chili
(makes about 10 servings...you can half this or freeze the remaining if you don't need this much)
6 cans beans (We like to use black beans)
2 cans refried beans
1-2 pkg. taco seasoning
1/2 c. bbq sauce
1/4 c. dijon or spicy mustard
Rinse 6 cans beans in strainer. Place them in a pot with the refried beans and all other ingredients. Add 2-4 c. water. You want to start out with the chili quite a bit runnier than you like it. Cook and stir often until it has reached your desired thickness. This could be anywhere from a half hour to an hour and a half...depending on how much water you add. The more water you add, the longer you have to cook it and the more flavorful it will be as the beans absorb the flavors from the other ingredients. If you're in a hurry, just add a couple cups of water so there's a buffer there to keep it from sticking to the pan while it's heating up and dissolving the seasoning and you'll be good to go in about a half hour.

Another blog that I'm really enjoying lately is 31 Cups. Gretchen has such awesome insights and I always come away from her blog feeling fed. She linked up a great post about diving into enjoying poetry---I'm ready!

Thank you for hosting as well as sharing at http://www.frugalfitfamily.com!
ReplyDeleteWith the snowy and cold days we keep having there's still lots of soup making going on around here. Your chili sounds so yummy and filling for the tummy. :) Happy Pink Saturday and thank you for inviting me to your party. xo
ReplyDeleteChili with cheese, sour cream and cornbread, yummy. thanks for your visit ! you have a beautiful family
ReplyDeleteUnusual recipe- simple and vegetarian! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm Link #63 this week.
ReplyDeleteI heard someone say that chilli with beans is not chilli. And then, I realized by the comment above mine, that there isn't any meat in your chilli. Guess it works by preference, right? Right.
I was wondering about your comment on linking back. I think you mentioned before that it needed to be in the post (which I do). Is it post or blog sidebar? Just curious.
Enjoyed your post and I saw both of the featured posts last time!
Mine is on ice cream cone cupcakes I did several years ago.
Happy Homemaking!
Jenn
PS - I did mean to say that your chili has some interesting ingredients in it - curious how it tastes. Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteJenn

We spent the last 5 years in Nebraska, where chili and cinnamon rolls are the local specialty. I really enjoyed that combination, so I am sure I'll love the spiced cornbread with chili too. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah, Your chili is really different. It sounds good enough to make. I'm giving it a try. YUM>
ReplyDeleteIt is snowing here today...I want some chili right now. smile.

Hi, I love this post! So many fun things. (And your family is gorgeous -- different post!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for inviting the Marmelade Gypsy to play along with the homemakers. There are so many! I think I'd better wait till after Easter when I have time to be a good participant--they all look wonderful and lots of fun! Thanks for asking!
Sarah, I have a recipe of my mom's called 'quick chili' that is so similar. The addition of the bbq sauce sounds yummy. I will try it next time. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
