Vegetarian Chili

Vegetarian Chili - Yum Yum Yum.. ever since we had chili over at David and Emilie's a month ago I'd been meaning to make chili at home.. Its the perfect meal.. I saw several recipe's but then finally decided to make my own recipe for the chili.. Its a great meal for the summer or the winter and its easy to make a tone and freeze.. We bought some soy hot dogs and poured the chili over them its the best ever!!




 Ingredients - 6 servings
Oil - 2 table spoons
Bell Peppers -  2 Medium finely diced
Onions -  1 Large Finely diced
Garlic - 6 cloves - diced or paste
1 can of Black beans
1 can of kidney beans
3 Jalapeños seeds removed and finely diced
2 cups of Morning star beef starter ( Can use Nutrela soy chunks or real beef too)
1 cup of Vegetable stock
1 diced tomato small or medium
1 table spoon chili powder
1 table spoon cumin powder
1 table spoon paprika
1 table spoon pepper
Salt to Taste

In a pan allow oil to heat up then add bell peppers first because they
take longer to cook - I have to cook everything on high or medium high
on our stove but you can keep it on medium if you have a gas stove.
Once bell peppers are soft and fully cooked add onions and garlic.
Allow onions to sweat out then add jalapeños and tomatoes along with
morning star starter. Add chili powder , cumin powder, paprika salt
and pepper.Cook for 3-4 minutes and add vegetable stock , black beans and kidney
beans and cook for around 1and 1/2 hours on low heat or in a crock
pot.I made mine in a rush so I only cooked it for 1 hour, but the more you
allow it to simmer on very low heat the better it will be in taste. It
freezes well and stays good in the fridge for up to 4 days.
