I am not fond of red kidney beans so the black beans really hit the spot. The combination of flavors and texture make this an awsome meal, especially served with corn bread. And, if you are pressed for time, you can also used canned black beans.

I didn't have the time to use dried black beans, so I used canned. This chili has very good flavor, I'll make it again!
