1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 can black beans, drained
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp thyme, basil, oregano, or other spice
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large pot.
Add garlic and onion and cook until the onion is translucent (more clear than white).
Add peppers and sauté for a few minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and spices.
When mixture is bubbling, reduce heat to simmer and add beans. Cover and simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes.
