Some nights you need dinner on the table in half an hour, no fuss, no fancy ingredients, no excuses.

This two-bean chili delivers exactly that. Kidney beans and great northern beans simmer together in a quick tomato-chili powder sauce with green peppers, onions, and garlic until everything melds into a thick, warming bowl of comfort.

A touch of basil adds an unexpected twist that keeps it interesting.

Served over hot rice, it stretches to feed four hungry people without breaking the bank or your schedule.

Kitchen Tips

  • Use canned beans to keep this a true 30-minute meal. Just drain and dump.
  • Don’t drain the canned tomatoes. That juice is your chili’s liquid base.
  • A few dashes of hot sauce on top bring everything to life if you like a little heat.
