🌱Hubby-Approved Meatless Chili Recipe😉
This meatless chili had hubby reaching for seconds before he even realized it was veggie. Who knew being sneaky could taste so good? 😜
Ingredients:
1 box Abbott's Plant-Rich Ground "Beef"
1 chili powder packet
2 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a non-vegetarian option)
1/2 chopped sweet onion
1 green or red bell pepper, chopped
1 orange or yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 small can of tomato paste
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper
⬇️Instructions⬇️
Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the onion and bell peppers. Drain and rinse the black beans and kidney beans.
Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Add all the ingredients to the crockpot.
Customize to Taste: Feel free to adjust the amounts of any ingredients based on your flavor preferences. Add more spices for a kick, or keep it milder with less.
Cook: Stir everything together to mix well. Set your crockpot to high and cook for about 2 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the chili to thicken.
Serve: Enjoy your chili over rice, with rice, with chips, or alongside biscuits or cornbread. It’s versatile and perfect for any dining preference.
⬇️Tips⬇️
Adjust the spice levels to suit your taste. Add more cayenne pepper or chili flakes for extra heat. I tend to be a bit heavier handed with my spices so typically where you see 1/2 teaspoon in doing 1 full teaspoon 🥲 but I love me some flavor packed chili!
This chili is ideal for meal prepping and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage. 🙂
