Beef and Black Bean Chili

Submitted by Idle Chef

"Years ago this was in our local news paper as a contest winner. I have shared it over the years and have gotten back raves. If you use ground beef which I have done with success try to use a lean ground or cook 1/2 way drain the fat. Since the key to this recipe is to infuse the beef with the peppers, onion and garlic you need to saute it along with the meat or add it in 1/2 way if using a fattier ground."
