So the other day, Cameraman Dave stepped in front of the lens to flex his cooking skills. He loves chili and he makes a darn good one! Veering from the traditional kidney bean version, this one uses black beans and corn. It's so simple, this could be a Brain-Dead Thursday recipe!
Also below is a recipe for a spice mix that is great for either tacos, chili or even popcorn! It does have some bite so if you are the sensitive type, reduce the black pepper to 1 t and omit the cayenne and/or red chili flakes. You can always add heat later.
If you're feeling lazy to make the blend, you can use a ready made package blend - there is no shame in that! Or, even simply, add a few tablespoons of chili powder, a T of cumin with some salt and granulated garlic or a clove of the real stuff.
I'm so proud of Cameraman Dave for not only making this with his own little paws but he also took the pictures himself :-)
It was delicious and a real treat to come home to after a long day's work!
