Sis' easy veggie chili

No pictures for this one, Dear Reader. I didn't think to grab the camera (sorry) but it's GOOD. And quick. And easy. In short, it's a good recipe that allows for a LOT of play around room if you want to mess with it.

Sis' Easy Veggie Chili

1 15 1/2 ounce can black beans (store brand ok)-undrained
1 10 ounce can Ro-Tel brand "Chili Fixin's" (seasoned diced tomatoes and chile)-undrained
1 8 ounce can whole kernel corn (store brand OK)-undrained
shredded cheddar, sour cream, chopped green onion for garnish

Mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Turn the heat down, let simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve with garnish and crackers (Sis introduced me to the Town House Bistro brand 'Corn Bread Crackers'. They're a sweetish cracker that really makes a great addition to the chili).

See? Told you it was easy. You'll get about 4 medium bowls of chili out of this as is. Double accordingly for more people, add in your own touches. Possible additions include ancho chiles in adobo sauce, more diced tomatoes, more black beans, red or kidney beans (note: If you use red beans or kidney beans, be sure to drain and rinse them... if it looks like mucus when you open the can, rinse). Serve with fritos, mix in different cheeses... Garnish to your liking. Let me know if you make it, what changes you made to it, and if you liked it.
