Beef and Black Bean Chili

Cooking healthy and tasty meals doesn't have to be expensive. Luckily, there are many delicious recipes that exist that won't empty your wallet!

Beef and black bean chili can be easily made in a slow cooker, but can take up to 10 hours to finish. Not for a lunch on the go!

Begin by browning ground beef in a skillet. Place the browned meat in a slow cooker with onions, peppers, garlic, beans, tomatoes, beans, broth, cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.

Cook on a low heat setting for about 8-10 hours, checking on it every once in a while. Pair with a baguette if desired, and enjoy!

The prices of supplies, paper and ink, quickly end up being pricier than the actual printer.

The need for printers is often exaggerated. The average number of printers at a business is 1 for every 4.4 people.
