Three bean beef chili with fried egg on top

Ingredients:

2 T olive oil

1 large onion, diced 

1 red bell pepper, diced 

1 green pepper diced

2 t ground cumin

1 pound ground beef 

1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

2 cups water

1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce 

2 teaspoons adobo sauce from the can of chipotles

1 t cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (15.5-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 (15.5-ounce) can navy beans, drained and rinsed

Heat the oil in large pot, add the onion and peppers. Cover and cook it until the vegetables are soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add the cumin and cayenne pepper and mix well. Add ground beef and make sure you break up the meat with spoon until all pieces are browned. Add crushed tomatoes, water, chipotle chili and sauce and cook it on low heat for 45 minutes. Add beans and continue cooking on low for additional 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

For the fried egg garnish, spray with oil and heat up frying pan. Place a round cookie cutter in pan and pour egg inside the circle.

To get an evenly cooked fried egg, the trick is to keep the air circulating. The easiest way to achieve that is to cover the egg and create a "steaming area". Cook for 2 minute and than lift the cover to check on the egg. The white should be perfectly cooked and yolk a little loose , when you cut into it should be runny.  Remove it very carefully from pan and place it on top of your chili

Bon apetit!
