SPICY MEATLESS CHILI

Before I retired, this recipe was a mainstay in our house. I could prepare the ingredients the night before, and then on the way out the door in the morning I could throw everything in the slow cooker. When I got home later, I made the toppings and supper was done. -Jane McMillan, Dania Beach, Florida

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 14 1/2-ounce can Mexican recipe stewed tomatoes with juices
8 ounces frozen veggie crumbles, thawed
1 cup canned red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1/4 cup water
1/2 cups shredded Mexican-style 4-cheese mix

Steps:

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder; stir 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes with juices, veggie crumbles, beans and 1/4 cup water. Cook until slightly thickened, breaking up any large tomato pieces and stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide chili between 2 soup bowls; top with cheese and serve.

Tips:

For a smoky flavor, roast the poblano pepper over an open flame or under a broiler before peeling and dicing.
To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you're ready to serve the chili, reheat it over medium heat until warmed through. You can also add additional toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado.
To make the chili more spicy, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead.
This chili is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Just add whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as corn, zucchini, or bell peppers.

Conclusion:

This spicy meatless chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its smoky flavor, hearty texture, and customizable spice level, this chili is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
