Beef and Black Bean Chili
True Texas chili is widely recognized as a bowl of beef chuck -that has been seasoned with dried chiles, tomatoes, and spices and simmered until it’s meltingly tender. Beans, if included at all, are most often pintos. This recipe swaps in black beans for variety and chili powder (a mix of ground chiles and spices such as oregano and cumin) for convenience.
Recipe | Serves 4
Place beans in a bowl; cover with water by several inches. Refrigerate, covered, overnight; drain. (To quick soak, cover beans in a large saucepan with water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 1 hour; drain.)
Preheat a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker.
Add beans. Add beef, tomato puree, onion (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish), garlic, chili powder, the hot water, 2 teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high until chili has thickened and beans are tender, 6 hours (or on low for 8 hours).
Serve with sour cream, reserved onion, jalapeño, avocado, and cheese.
