Hearty Beef Bean Roasted Red Pepper Chili Recipe

Back when I was a school teacher, there were a number of kids who believed that the teachers all slept at the school.  They couldn’t wrap their minds around the fact that teachers went home, or went to the grocery store, or really that they did anything but grade papers and sharpen pencils all night long while waiting for their students to return.

Similarly, there may be one or two of you who think that I live on a diet comprised solely of brownies.  Crumbled leftover brownies for cereal, perhaps, and a cream-cheese filled brownie sandwich for lunch, followed by a nice slab of brownie steak for dinner.

I’m just kidding.  I know you don’t think I just eat brownies.  (Right?)

So every once in a while, I’ll take a little detour away from brownies to show you how to make some of my favorite meals.  (After all, woman cannot live by brownies alone.)  This hearty chili with beef recipe is a favorite for several reasons.

  • It’s extremely fast and easy.
  • It’s very filling, yet quite good for you.

And the best reason of all:

  • Spicy food always leaves me craving sweets.  (Brownie time!)

This recipe is part of the #WeekdaySupper event, in which bloggers from the #SundaySupper Movement post quick and easy meals that are well suited for weeknight cooking.  I’ve adapted it from a recipe originally featured in a Publix grocery store sale flyer, but I’ve changed it up a bit to suit my tastes.  If you have leftover chili, use it in these Loaded Chili Cheese Potato Parfaits.

Don’t forget to check out all the other #WeekdaySupper dishes this week!  The links are located below this recipe.  Enjoy!

      Thanks, Dini! It’s one of my favorites for sure. When I’m feeling like really having a treat, I stir some chipotle peppers in adobo sauce into the sour cream until they break up and tint the sour cream light red. Now that’s eating!
