I cooked in my large roaster pan 4 -1 lb packages of red beans according to package directions. Drained,
I then added:
- 2 small cans of tomato paste
- 2 T salt
- 2 T chili powder
- 1 T paprika
- 2 T onion minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 T mustard
- 4 cups water
I turned my roaster on low and cooked overnight. The beans turned soft and absorbed the chili flavor well. I then placed into containers and put in the freezer for future meals.

Did you use dry mustard powder or prepared mustard in this recipe? I just discovered canned chili beans and would love to make my own.
Prepared mustard:)
could you pressure can these beans?
Yes but I believe you just make them dry and then the pressure makes them regular…haven’t done it in a long time.
