I love beans, but I always think I prefer my chili without beans. Until I try this chili recipe! I also always thought I didn't like red beans, just thinking about them made me think of large, dried big red beans, but I found I really love red beans in this chili recipe. Boiling the chili for 1.5 hours really turns red beans into something very delicious, and gives a deep spicy flavor to the chili! I suggest you try this chili recipe, I think you will be surprised.
