Chili Beans

• 1 lb dry red kidney beans

• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 cup red wine or chicken broth
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 can (16 oz) chopped tomatoes

Instructions:
Soak the beans in water overnight. Drain and combine with the remaining ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer covered for 4 hours, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened, adding more chicken broth if necessary.
