Notes
COOK’S NOTE: BUSH'S® Kidney Chili Beans are available in a Mild and a Spicy Chili Sauce. We like both varieties, but when I can find them, I like to use the spicier beans for an added kick.(2) 15-ounce cans of diced tomatoes may be substituted for the fresh tomatoes in this recipe. I typically use red, orange, and yellow peppers for this recipe, however any variety of bell pepper will work nicely.
