Food Friday: Quick and Easy Two-Bean Chili

Quick and Easy food is critically important here!  When we come home from the office we are ready to eat NOW, so I am getting better at making things fast.  I don't suppose it counts as "homemade" if it is all cans but...

Today's recipe was truly quick.  We had three partial jars of different salsas in the refrigerator.  They had been open for a while so they needed to be used.  We had a can of green chilis and two different beans in the cupboard so I put them all together, heated them in a flash and we were eating.

These were quite mild and added good flavor.

These salsas were purchased so we could decide once and for all what salsa we liked best.  I think Pace was the winner here.  The other one had vinegar in it.

This salsa was a one-time deal.  It was good in the chili but not good alone.

This was fast chili that I only added a teaspoon of cumin to the pot to make it tasty.  Of course there were leftovers, which to me is a good thing because there was at least a second instant meal in the refrigerator.
You can't go wrong with red kidney beans and great northern beans add a nice creaminess to any recipe.
