Although we are having lots of sunny days, fall has definitely arrived in Vancouver. Leaves are changing colors, taking on different shades of red, yellow and brown. It is such a beautiful sight to behold. Furthermore, mornings are getting colder and lots of people are getting sick from the change of season. Soups, stews and chilis are the preferred dishes to cook at this time of the year. And I am no exception; I have been making lots of these dishes lately.
This quick chili recipe is not only hearty but also filling. Other kinds of beans may be used but I prefer red kidney beans and cannellini beans. This chili dish is so easy to make, in 35 minutes time, you have a delicious and comforting dish to enjoy on a cold fall night!
