Recipe: Peanut Butter Chili

Inspired by the Peanut Butter & Company Cookbook

(Makes one large, Caroline-size serving)

Ingredients

• 1/4 white or yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 can of canned, diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup cooked beans (kidney beans, black beans, or chickpeas)
• 2/3 cup cooked corn
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 t chili powder
• 1/2 t paprika
• 1/2 t ground cumin
• 1/4 t red pepper flakes
• 1 T natural peanut butter

Method

1. Over medium heat, place onions in a nonstick saucepan and cook until tender.

2. Add tomatoes (with canning liquid), beans, corn, and spices. Bring to a simmer.

3. Add peanut butter, place a lid on the saucepan, and allow peanut flavor to infuse throughout the chili (5 minutes).

4. Remove lid, and stir thoroughly. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

-I prefer to use no-salt added diced tomatoes.

-If you wish to amp up the heat, try using PB & Co.’s Heat Is On peanut butter (click for a review).
