Black Bean Chili

Very hearty and flavorful. The goat cheese complements the chili nicely. I took the advice of the previous reviewer and let it simmer for a couple hours after I mixed everything together. Also, I accidentally bought 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of crushed, but it was still good, and the red chunks made it pretty :-)
