[Why You’ll Love This Recipe]
This isn’t your average chili. We’re using a blend of ancho powder, cumin, and fire-roasted tomatoes to create a deep, complex flavor in under an hour. Plus, it’s all made in ONE POT, making cleanup a breeze!

[Ingredients You’ll Need]

1.5 lbs Ground Turkey (or beef/pork/chicken)
2 cans Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
15 oz Fire Roasted Tomatoes
2 JalapeƱos (diced)
3 oz Tomato Paste
2 cups Chicken Stock (or try it with a White Ale!)
The Spice Blend: Chili powder, ancho powder, cayenne, oregano, and cumin.

[Key Highlights]
āœ… One-Pot Meal: Easy cooking, easier cleanup.
āœ… Custom Heat: I’ll show you how to adjust the peppers and spices to your perfect level.

āœ… Fast: Prep to table in about 50 minutes.

  1. I love your recipes! Sure, I may not use all of them, but either way, it’s nice to see you cook. You have a great personality and dare I say, you’re cute too haha.

    Keep up the great work! šŸ˜„

  2. I wonder if I can find a gorgeous garlic blooming candle I can light when i watch these videos. Otherwise, I just need to start some sauting whenever I see a new video post.

  3. I chop the stem/top off of a few habaneros and let them simmer while the chili cooks. Ads great flavor and a bit of extra heat.

  4. What is the "Non-Negotiable" topping for a bowl of Black Bean Chili? 🌶

    A) A massive dollop of sour cream.

    B) Extra fresh-sliced jalapeƱos (Heat seeker style!).

    C) Crumbly white cheese (Queso Fresco).

    D) A squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro.

    E) "I eat it plain – the chili is the star!

  5. As a vegan, I will omit the meat and chicken broth, but wondering if I I can replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth? If I do, will any of the seasonings change or amounts change? TIA

  6. Dammit you got me, I've made "chili/nachos/e.t.c." with Black Beans & loved it everytime so I just gotta….. I Don't want to because it was Pizza night, but now I got to! RIP pizza.

  7. Mines 30 minutes away! I used some gov't canned pork I've had on the shelf for years. (it expired a year ago). We'll see how it turns out!

  8. I love black beans. I always use one can of black beans and one can of pinto or kidney beans in my chili. I've never had any complaints.

  9. This is perfect for that super-lean meat at the grocery, the turkey, venison, buffalo products that are near 95-98% lean.

  10. Super easy! I subbed the jalapeƱo hot sauce with a Fresno hot sauce that I made this year, and added a Guinness during simmering. Great recipe, and yes, ZESTY! Love all of your content, thanks!
