While kidney beans are a red bean, "red beans" are a completely different smaller red bean used traditionally in New Orleans for red beans and rice. They will cook much faster than kidney beans and have a buttery taste and texture. Just a small culinary clarification.

I use 2 large cans diced tomatoes, 1 medium bell pepper, 1 large white onion, as much chili powder as I deem to fit my taste, 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, 3 pounds ground chuck (browned, of course), 3 cans dark red kidney beans, salt & pepper to taste. Then I let it slow cook on top of the stove for hours. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. days is fantastic - if it lasts that long! Interesting enough!

If you use more tomatoes it will be a bit runnier but it will cook down if you let it simmer longer. It's really just a personal preference as to how thick or soupy you like your chili. Enjoy! This is really a fantastic, go-to recipe that can really be adjusted to suit your personal taste. Caitlyn — I’ve used a 14.5 oz can of crushed tomatoes with puree and I’ve used a 14.5 oz can of each.
