From our friend Vicky – an amazing wonderful superb person – who cooks GREAT food for her #vegan and #vegetarian friends. This recipe won her a trophy and some great recognition at a recent cook off. <\/p>\n
Note that the Morning Star crumbles she uses are vegetarian, not vegan, but she suggests substituting Boca crumbles to make it #vegan. <\/p>\n
Time for Chili!<\/p>\n
VICKY HORAN\u2019S AWARD WINNING VEGETARIAN CHILI (can be #vegan with Boca)<\/p>\n
INGREDIENTS
\n1 Pkg. Morning Star Beef Crumbles in frozen section \u2013 you can use Boca (Boca is vegan), but I prefer Morning Star
\n1 medium sweet onion chopped \u2013 about 1 cup
\n1 green pepper chopped about \u00bd cup
\n1 full teaspoon minced garlic
\n1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes \u2013 I used Muir Glen Organic
\n8 oz. can whole plum tomatoes (cut in half)
\n\u00bc cup barbeque sauce – I used Open Pit Original Barbeque Sauce because it is thinner than most
\n2 TBS. McCormick\u2019s chili powder
\n1 Teaspoon McCormick\u2019s Chipolte Chile Pepper \u2013 don\u2019t substitute
\nPinch of Oregano
\nA couple of dashes of black pepper
\n\u00bd cup water
\n1 16 oz. can Busch Vegetarian baked beans – undrained
\n1 15.5 oz. can Red Kidney Beans \u2013 drained
\nOlive oil to coat pan
\nOptional: One large Portobello mushroom coarsely chopped<\/p>\n
PREPARATION
\n1.\tIn a large frying pan, heat about 3 tbs. of olive oil over medium high heat. When hot, add the onions and green pepper and cook until translucent. Add more oil if necessary. If using mushrooms, add now.
\n2.\tLower heat to medium. Add garlic and stir in. Don\u2019t let garlic brown.
\n3.\tAdd Morning Star crumbles (still frozen) and cook about 1- 2 minutes.
\n4.\tAdd chili powder and stir well. Then add Chipolte pepper and stir well.
\n5.\tAdd all tomatoes, water and barbeque sauce. Stir well.
\n6.\tAdd all beans and oregano. Bring to a simmer and then lower heat to about 3-4.
\n7.\tCook for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally and don\u2019t let stick on bottom. Lower heat to avoid thickening too much. I normally serve over rice. Enjoy!
