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

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide chili between 2 soup bowls; top with cheese and serve.

Tips for Making the Best Spicy Meatless Chili:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and cannellini beans.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat. Chili is a naturally spicy dish, so don't be afraid to add some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or other spices to taste.
  • Simmer your chili for a long time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for longer if you have the time.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
  • Make a big batch of chili and freeze the leftovers. This is a great way to have a quick and easy meal on hand. Chili can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Spicy meatless chili is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
