Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 ounce chili seasoning mix
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (20 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed
12 ounces textured vegetable protein, reconstituted
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

The best chili seasoning mix to use is Williams Tex Mex Chili Seasoning Mix in 1 oz packets, but you can use 2 Tbs of any other chili seasoning mix, or mix your own from various types of chili powders, onion powder and garlic.
To reconstitute the texturized vegetable protein, boil almost 1 cup of water and then add 1 cup of the dry TVP. Stir and let stand for about 5 minutes. Morningstar makes a good meat substitute - freezer section, by the Boca.
Heat all ingredients for about 20 minutes in a saucepan, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle liberally with cheesy goodness after it is in a bowl. Serve with cornbread made from scratch in a cast iron pan. Goes great with beer, especially a Harp or red or brown ale.

RANDY'S VEGETARIAN CHILI

Randy's Vegetarian Chili image

After watching a lot of cooking shows, Randy decided to try his hand at his own chili recipe, and here it is. He loves it, but it's too hot for me - he does not remove the seeds from the peppers. Chili freezes well, and he loves to freeze individual servings for later.

VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Vegetarian Chili With Winter Vegetables image

I have made several versions of vegetarian chili; in some the beans take center stage, others are just as focused on vegetables. This thick, satisfying chili is equally focused on both. I particularly like the way the sweet flavor and comforting, creamy texture of the winter squash plays against the spicy flavors in the chili.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 recipe simmered pintos or 3 (14-ounce) cans
2 tablespoons grapeseed, sunflower or canola oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large or 2 medium carrots, cut in small dice
1 red pepper, diced (optional)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons mild ground chili (or use hot, or use more)
1 tablespoon lightly toasted cumin seeds, ground
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste dissolved in 1 cup water
2 cups diced winter squash (about 3/4 pound)
Salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Grated cheddar or Monterey Jack, or crumbled queso fresco for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Heat the beans on top of the stove in a large soup pot or Dutch oven.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy nonstick skillet and add the onion, carrot and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, stir together until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add the ground chili and cumin. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture begins to stick to the pan. Add the tomatoes and oregano, and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is beginning to stick to the pan, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste dissolved in water and bring back to a simmer. Season with salt to taste and simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes, until the mixture is thick and fragrant.
Stir the tomato mixture into the beans. Add the winter squash and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, for 30 to 45 minutes. It is important to stir often so that the chili doesn't settle and stick to the bottom of the pot. It should be thick; if you desire you can thin out with water. Taste and adjust salt.
Shortly before serving stir in the cilantro and simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls. If you wish, top with grated cheddar, Monterey jack, or crumbled queso fresco.

This chili is SO easy to make. You can pretty much throw whatever you have into the pot and it'll be great. (I added some leftover salsa once.) It's very colorful, not to mention delicious.

RANDY'S ALMOST FAMOUS CHILI

Randy's Almost Famous Chili image

I developed this Chili recipe several years ago & I won 2nd place in a local chili contest. It's become a family & friend favorite...my brother-in-law is considered a "chili connoisseur" & he says it's the best he has ever had! One time, a friend's wife ate 5 bowls of it, that I KNOW of.....YIKES!!! Hope you enjoy it, too! BTW....I do NOT put in kidney beans or macaroni, but you do whatever you like. IMO that's a darn good way to ruin chili!!!
