Three Bean, Two Pepper Chili
Habanero and jalapeño peppers pack a one-two punch in this hearty, flavorful chili.
Perfect for game-day parties or a cold winter’s night, this pot of chili combines peppers and spices with navy, black, and kidney beans to amp up the flavor of more traditional variations.

1 15-ounce can black beans
1 15-ounce can kidney beans
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup ground cumin
