List of Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (optional)
1 package red beans, rinsed and sorted
1 package black beans, rinsed and sorted
1 package lentils, rinsed and sorted
(2) 29 oz cans tomato sauce
(3) 10 ¾ oz cans chicken broth (or one big one?lol)
1 cup water
(2) Packets taco seasoning
2 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp pepper (I used fresh ground peppercorns)
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
Garlic salt to taste (about 2 tsp??)
(I also used Montreal Chicken Seasoning? just a couple tsp?but this is optional


Recipe

Quick soak the red and black beans (2 minutes boiling then soak for 1 hr).

After they've soaked, pour the rest of the ingredients into the big pot with everything else. Cook over medium low heat for a couple hours. Stir occasionally to avoid burning and to move everything around and mix it up good! Taste it after a couple hours to see if the beans are softened. Leave it cooking as long as it takes. If you like a saucier chili you can add more water or another can of chicken broth.
