This vegetarian chili is a Cerrato favorite! I’ve passed this recipe along to many friends and family over the years, because it’s just so good and so simple to make. Enjoy leftovers with tortilla chips as nachos!
This dish is perfect to make ahead of time, as the more time it sits, the more time the flavors blend together. Thank you to Racheal Ray for this YUM-MO recipe!

I just made a three bean chili lastnight! I will have to try this recipe next time 🙂
this was originally a three bean chili but personally, I don’t like refried beans so I just did black beans and kidney beans. This chili is soooo good. It always hits the spot and the leftovers are even better because the flavors blend together so nicely.
