Speedy Chili

1 can Black Beans, 15 oz

1 can White Beans, 15 oz

1 can Kidney Beans, 15 oz

 One pound Ground Beef (85/15)

1 can Marinara

1 1/4 cup Red Wine ($2.99 special from Trader Joe's)

2 cups Stock (Beef or Vegetable or Water)

1 small Onion, diced

Salt, Pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Dry Spices

2 Tbs Paprika

1 Tbs Cumin

1 Tbs Garlic Powder

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and season with the Dry Spices, salt and pepper to taste. Cook 6-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans.

Pour red wine, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the flavors to blend together. Let it simmer on low for 3-5 minutes, so the alcohol cooks out.

Add marinara, stock (or water), and beans. Season again with a little salt and pepper.

Bring it to a boil uncovered. Turn it to low heat, cover up, and cook for about 30 minutes.

Top it with Avocado Sour Cream and Chives

Serves 6-8
