3 Bean Pantry Chili

This is one of my favorite go-to pantry meal.  I always have everything for this chili on hand.  It's so simple, but we love it.  I will often times throw in some zucchini if I have it laying around, or put an extra can of diced tomatoes in it with 3-4 cups cubed sweet potatoes. It's a very versatile recipe.  In the summer, I omit the liquids and drain the tomatoes and use it as a burrito filling, or serve it over baked sweet potatoes or rice! I was hesitant to put it on the blog, but a friend told me you can't ever have too many chili recipes, so...here you go!
