TIPS

1. Don't have all three kinds of beans in the pantry? No worries! Substitute equal amounts of whatever beans you have for a different, but still satisfying chili.
2. Serve with tortilla chips or corn bread muffins and a garden salad for a fresh, healthy and filling meal.
3. Add a dollop of sour cream and chopped scallions to the top of each bowl for a little added flavor and visual pizzazz!
