Beef & Black Bean Chili

It's been snowing or cold the past 4 or 5 days and so chili is always something we like to make when the weather is dreadful. This was a beef and black bean chili recipe from Pinterest that I had wanted to try, so that is what I did. We had this chili with some jalapeno cheddar cornbread muffins.
