Vegetarian Chili

As much as I would like to, with a toddler on the go, I don't really have much time to spend in the kitchen on sophisticated meals, so I am always looking for very easy-to-make recipes that do not require much preparation and cooking time. This recipe is both very simple to make and delicious! You can adjust the seasoning according to taste (more or less chili powder) and use whatever beans you prefer or have at the time, no need to necessarily use the two varieties. Serve on a bed of crushed tortilla chips and with some grated cheddar on top - it's fantastic. Not much else to be said about it, it must be tried :)

Ingredients

* 1 Tbs oil
* 2 onions, chopped
* 1 large green pepper, chopped
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 tsp sugar
* 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
* 1 1/2 dried oregano
* 1 Tbs chili powder (optional)
* salt and black pepper, to taste
* 2 (16 oz) cans of stewed or chopped/diced tomatoes 
*  2 (15 oz) cans black beans
* 2 (15 oz) cans pinto beans
* 1/2 c frozen corn
* crushed tortilla chips (optional)
* grated cheddar cheese (optional)

1)  Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions, green pepper and garlic and saute for about 7 minutes, or until tender. 
2)  Add sugar, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper, tomatoes, corn and beans. Bring to boil and then cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes (stir occasionally so the bottom doesn't stick).
