Simple Chili Recipe

Chili and football go together hand-in-hand. What better way to enjoy a game than a bowl of the hearty warm good stuff, sprinkled with a little cheese and a dollop of sour cream? In less than 20 minutes, you can throw together a batch of my Speedster Chili using canned black beans, chopped tomatoes, ground beef and a few mix-ins for flavor.

What you’ll need…
1 15-ounce can black beans
