Corn and Black Bean Chili

With the sudden drop in temperature and the start of football season, I have been craving chili.  I have made a ton of chili recipes, but wanted to create one that emphasized corn and black beans.  The combination of corn and black beans just intrigues me.  So I went through my spice cabinet and started grabbing spices. After a few changes, I got the flavor that I was craving.  This chili ended up being one the tastiest that I have made.  The addition of the corn kernels added a nice texture and flavor.  You have to try this chili.

Corn and Black Bean Chili

In a large pot or dutch oven, brown 1 lb of ground beef.

While the beef browns dice up one onion, one red pepper and mince 4 cloves garlic.  Also open and drain 3 cans of black beans, set aside.  Combine the spices into a bowl and set aside.

Once the ground beef is browned, drain the oil.

Add the onions, bell pepper, spices and garlic to the ground beef.  Cook for 5 minutes.

Add the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, beans and crushed tomatoes.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes.

Add the corn and continue to cook for 15 minutes.

Time to eat and enjoy!  Serve and top with cheddar cheese, onions and sour cream.
