In honor of Mother’s Day and my mom, I offer you her yummy CHILI. Of course, growing up, we used …. dare I say it…meat in the recipe. I now know, I can still have my childhood yumminess, made a lot healthier.
- Vegan Meat Substitute (Beyond Meat is pretty yummy)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 green pepper, chopped (totally optional)
- 1 tablespoon chili
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1 large can whole tomatoes
- 2 small cans tomato paste
- 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- In a large pot, saute “meat”, onion and peppers in a small amount of oil until soft, add garlic and seasonings, saute about 3 minutes.
- Add 1 can of tomato paste with 2 cans of water. Stir and simmer 15 minutes.
- Add the other can of tomato paste, the whole can of UNDRAINED tomatoes (when in the pot, squish with your hands, be careful it will squirt everywhere!), and kidney beans.
- Let simmer with a partially covered lid 45 minutes.
- Scoop in a bowl and add “sour cream” and “cheese” and a sprinkle of minced onions, if you like.
- ENJOY!
