A hearty and tasty vegetarian chili made with mixed beans, vegetables, and spices. It's perfect for meat eaters who want to eat something satisfying without meat.
Ingredients: 2 cans mixed beans kidney, black, pinto, drained and rinsed. 1 can diced tomatoes. 1 onion, diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 bell pepper, diced. 1 cup vegetarian ground meat substitute. 2 tablespoons chili powder. 1 teaspoon cumin. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 cups vegetable broth. 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Instructions: Put olive oil in a big pot and heat it over medium-low heat. Slice the onion, garlic, and bell pepper and add them. For about 5 minutes, or until softened, saut. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the ground meat substitute. Stir every now and then for another 5 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and mixed beans. Use a stir to mix. Once the chili starts to simmer, turn down the heat to low and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring every now and then. Check the seasoning and make changes if needed. Top it off with your favorite things, like sour cream, chopped cilantro, or shredded cheese, and serve it hot.
