1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground coriander

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 bay leaves

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, broken up with your hands

3 cups beef stock or canned, low-sodium beef broth

1 1/2 cups great northern beans

1 1/2 cups cooked and drained pinto beans

1 1/2 cups cooked and drained kidney beans

1 1/2 cups cooked and drained black beans

Directions

Add the garlic, chili powder, salt, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, coriander, and cinnamon, and cook until vegetables are soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the bay leaves, tomatoes, and stock; bring the mixture to a simmer, partially cover, and cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add all of the beans, stir to combine, and continue to cook another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the flavors have come together and the chili has a nice, thick consistency. Add the cilantro, taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
