Two Bean Chilli

This is an easily adaptable recipe which you can customise to your tastes and what you have in the fridge or pantry! I made this to go in a burger (yes, I really did)! as I wanted something different! Next time I’ll have it with a plain burger rather than a Jalapeno burger! I like spice. Just a bit of spice. Not a lot of spice! It was still good, and that’s the thing about recipes like this, you can switch things up, add and takeaway spice to get it just right for you!

Of course, you can eat this chilli however you like!


The Chilli Recipe

I have used a base of onions, garlic, peppers and carrots, added tinned tomatoes and beans (kidney & butter), then thrown in a load of spice! There’s a secret ingredient you might not expect in there too!

What do I need?

You can (as with most of my recipes), probably make this with the equipment you already have at home. However, if you are new to cooking or your kitchen needs a refresh, here are a few useful things for this recipe.

Serving

Go traditional and serve your chilli with rice (or your favourite grain), slather it atop a jacket potato, have it in your buddha bowl, put it in a wrap, scoop it up with tortilla chips… your chilli, your choice!

Storage

This chilli is great for storing and the flavours will develop and intensify with time. Store in the fridge for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months. If freezing, portion, label and freeze.
