Editor’s Note (October 5, 2018): Added a second creative serving suggestion. Updated recipe’s instructions (Step #6).
This homemade chili contains fresh beans instead of canned. Well seasoned and hearty. Smack-a-licious is a fun name for delicious! View video on my Facebook page.
Several years ago, I taught myself to make homemade chili. Canned chili beans were one of my favorite ingredients. As I matured, my taste changed. I also like creative presentations.
I enjoy using Cajun 15 Bean Soup by Hurst’s Beans.   Always soak in water 8 hours up to overnight to get rid of gas. Thrilled the company provided several packages of dried beans. Used one package for this recipe.
Soak and rinse beans before cooking to get rid of gas and to make digestion easier. Details in the recipe.
Used Hunt’s diced tomatoes to jazz up the flavor in this chili.
During mid-morning, I cooked this chili in my pretty blue dutch oven provided by Lodge Manufacturing.  The sunshine flowed beautifully through the kitchen’s window. Peaceful experience.
Enjoy your day and the recipe!
Wonderful Recipe! Thanks for sharing!
