My 3 bean chilli is a great easy recipe which can be made using mainly store cupboard ingredients. It’s gluten free, dairy free and vegan too which makes it perfect for everyone. I use 3 type of beans for my chilli – kidney beans, butter beans and black beans however you can substitute these for any types of beans you may have in the cupboard.
It’s also a great meal for batch making, so that you have extras for the fridge/freezer. I served mine with some homemade potato wedges, salad, vegetables and dairy free cheese but it’s very adaptable and is also great in jacket potatoes or with rice.
