Steps:
- Drain and rinse beans. Place in pan. Add the garlic salt, Worcestershire and the chili powder; set aside.

- Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in parsley, salt and pepper. Serve over hot cooked rice. You can cook your rice while your bean mixture is simmering.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best-tasting chili. Look for plump, ripe black beans, flavorful kielbasa, and fresh vegetables.
- Don't skip the browning step: Browning the beef and kielbasa adds depth of flavor to the chili. Be sure to brown the meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat instead of browning it.
- Use a variety of spices: Chili is all about the spices! Experiment with different chili powders, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper to create a unique and flavorful blend.
- Let the chili simmer: Simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is the perfect dish for topping with your favorite ingredients. Try sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, or crushed tortilla chips.
