I’ve never made three-bean chili before. I’ll give this a try since hubby loves a lot of beans in chili.

This chili sounds super yummy! I am sensitive to spice and heat but can totally modify.
Heather @ US Japan Fam
YUM!!! Are the jalepenos the only ones to remove to make it mild?
Bri
You could also remove the hot sauce if you are super sensitive to heat. 🙂

I too am a meat lover, but I’m always open to trying new vegetarian dishes. I really would like to cut down the amount of meat I consume. I am not a big fan of cooking, so I like easy. This chili sounds delish!! I will definitely give it a try.
