Recipe Notes

• You can use either canned or dry beans. If you are using dried beans, do not forget to soak and cook them ahead of time, before you make the chili

• If you need a tomato-free chili, just omit the diced tomatoes. It tastes amazing without them, but I like to add them sometimes for color and variety

• Toppings are not necessary, but they are a great addition to this chili

• For the process photos I used red onion, since I love to cook with it, but you can use any type of onions – red, yellow or white
