Cook through and set aside: Pork, Top Round, Peppers and Onion.
In large soup kettle on medium heat: Cook ALL REMAINING INGREDIENTS (toss in
the cooked meats, peppers and onion) except for the black beans which you will add 15
minutes prior to serving.
It’s that easy!

2 cans (28.oz) of crushed tomatoes---san manziano preferred
2 cans tomato paste
2 cans black beans (15 oz. each) (* put into soup the last 15 minutes..otherwise the beans
will break down and become mushy)

1 tbsp chili powder

A note from Coop:
This is not a super hot or spicy chili. This recipe is inspired by my time living in Mexico
and my experience touring in Vermont with my band…it’s a little sweet and a little spice!
If wanna spice it up a little..set aside some bowls of medium and hot salsa for people to
add to their CooperBowl Chili.
