How to cook deliciously - Matt's Bean Chili with Okra

1 . Stage

Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot pot until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

2 . Stage

While the beef is browning, coat okra in beaten eggs and toss in flour. Set aside.

3 . Stage

Drain and discard grease from the beef. Stir black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, corn, cinnamon, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, brown sugar, and salt into the pot. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 30 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 2 hours.

4 . Stage

While chili simmers, heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry okra in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes, working in batches as needed. Set fried pieces on paper towels to drain and let rest.

5 . Stage

Serve chili in bowls with fried okra on top for a nice added crunch.
