Healthy Black Bean-Hominy Chili image

I found this recipe, in the newspaper. Sounds worth a try! I would use frozen onions & green peppers, if I them on hand, to make this even more quick & easy.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I only used 1 teaspoon of chili powder. It was still plenty flavorful.

This chili is a great make-ahead meal. You can cook it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week.

I like to serve this chili with a dollop of sour cream and a side of cornbread.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover black beans and corn.

I wasn't sure how I would like the hominy, but it was actually really good. It added a nice texture and flavor to the chili.

This chili was a hit with my family! The flavors were well balanced and the hominy added a nice texture. I will definitely be making this again.
