Better Home Cooking Basics: #43 To Make a Quick Chili Use Canned Beans Instead of Dried Beans.

Last night I made this chili. We both got home late, so I started cooking late so we ate kind of late but the chili cooked pretty quickly - Chris pointed this out. He was right.  Usually chili is supposed to simmer for hours on end but I think that has to do with the doneness of the beans. The last thing you want in chili is undercooked beans so if you don’t have time use canned beans which take no time at all to incorporate & cook in you big pot of chili.  No one will know or care as they eat their second bowl.
