5-Bean Chili

By Silverphoenix

There is no meat in this chili, which turns some people off initially. However everyone who has tried it has commented that they didn't actually miss it.

Ingredients

• 2 cans Dark Red Kidney Beans
• 2 cans Light Red Kidney Beans
• 2 cans Pinto Beans
• 1 can Red Beans
• 1 can Black Beans
• 1 (small) can Ro*tel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilis (pick the spiciness that you like, just be aware that these tend toward the more hot side)
• 1 can Italian Style Stewed Tomatoes
• 2 cans Mexican Style Stewed Tomatoes
• 1 package McCormick Chili Seasoning Mix (again, choose your preferred spice level)
