Butter Bean Chili

I'm a magician in the kitchen at work. As aforementioned, there's very little I can eat at Chez Omni, but because I know my shit and I love the show Chopped, I can easily make something out of a mystery basket of ingredients. Here's a precious little number I made on the fly, it's called Butterbean Chili. When you  make it, make sure you have the B-52's playing Butter Beans in the background.

You'll need

• 1 can of butter beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 12 oz can of V-8 juice
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 T of balsamic vinegar dressing
• 1 t Ms. Dash table blend
• dash of salt
• 1/2 t onion powder
• 2 t Ms. Dash chipotle blend
• 1 t cumin
• 1/2 t paprika
• 1/2 t black pepper
• dash of hot sauce
• 1/2 t chili powder

Bring everything together to a rollin' boil, and simmer for about a half an hour. I served mine over mashed potatoes and with a side salad. I think this would be rad with the traditional corn bread and some vegan sour cream, or even over a bed of tortilla chips.
