Quick & Easy California 3-Bean Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Chili
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup red wine
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
California Spice Blend
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper

Preparation

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper, cook 5 min., stirring often.
Stir in spice mix and remaining ingredients. (I like to toast the spices for about a minute before adding the other ingredients.)
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 min., stirring occasionally. This freezes beautifully.
