All them BEANS chili

As requested here is my crazy all beans chili   -- I love to cook and rarely if ever measure out the ingredients but this one is super easy and very yummy!

1 Large Can of Black beans - rinsed
1 Large Can of Bean medley (not bean salad - has 6 to 8 different kinds)
1 Large Can of Chickpeas - rinsed
1 Large Can of white Kidney beans - keep the liquid as thickner
1 Can of Faba beans - rinsed
1 Can of Brown beans ( in tomato sauce)*** this will make it sweater so it is optional
1 extra large onioin chopped or sliced ( or more for your taste)
1 can salt reduced tomatoes
1 hand full of chopped (very small) fresh baby spinach
1 package of mexican crumble
chili powder - mexican
cilantro to taste
roasted garlic to taste
1 tbsp of olive oil ( the very best you can afford)


In a large pot - warm the oil and cook onions and spinach until wilted , add tomatoes and beans , chili powder ( I like alot) cilantro fresh or dried to taste and roasted garlic to taste. add all the beans - bring to boil then reduce to simmer- I let mine sit for an hour or two on low  - then add crumble bring back to low boil - serve with baked nacho chips ( Garden Fresh are very good and very low sodium) serve with a scoop of low fat sour cream and low fat chesse - even a little bit of chopped avacado --- YUMMY

this is the same recipe I use to make only then I would use ground chicken, or ground poin loin.

Enjoy Faiza!
