Three Bean Chili + Biscuits

1.
VEGGIES
Dice the onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper into medium dice. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the veggies and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

2.
SPICES
Add all of the spices: chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

3.
BEANS
Open the cans of beans and drain them. Open the tomatoes. Add beans, tomatoes, and the water to the pot; stir and bring to a boil. Simmer for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 to build flavor.

4.
BISCUITS
Follow the instructions on the package of biscuit mix. I always go for drop biscuits which are one-bowl and no rolling and cutting. Bake, typically for 16 minutes or so.

5.
TOPPINGS
Grate cheese or dice avocado if using.

6.
SERVING
Serve bowls of chili with cheese and avocado on top and a biscuit on the side.
