Vegan 3 Bean Chili

This chili is a staple in our household. Not only is it super inexpensive, it's easy to make, and the whole family loves it.

What you'll need:
*a cutting board
*knife
*big pot
*something to stir with

Ingredients:
*1 cup dried black beans
*1 cup dried dark red kidney beans
*1 cup dried pinto beans
*3 tomatoes
*1 bell pepper
*2 jalapeno
*1 onion
*3-4 garlic cloves
*1 cup of corn
Spices:
*1/4 cup of chili powder
*salt
*pepper
*cumin
*onion powder
*garlic powder

Now for the how to:
This recipe is not to specific. You can add as much or as little as you like of all the ingredients. Do note that because my little ones will be eating this chili I make sure to remove all the seeds and rib (the white part) of the jalapeno because that's where all the spiciness comes from. So first you'll want to chop up all your vegies. Then with just a tiny bit of sunflower oil I like to saute the peppers, onion, and garlic just until they're soft. Next toss in your beans and spices. Give it a good stir then add in the rest of your veggies and lastly plenty of water. You can either throw it in the crock pot and let it cook on low all day or if you'll be home you can leave it on the stove top on low until you're ready to eat.
