Try this easy vegan chili

My family was in town for a few days and I wanted something easy to make and keep in the fridge for me or them to eat whenever.

I used to make a great turkey chili so I reworked the recipe to make it vegan.

My meat-loving grandfather even enjoyed it!

Ingredients:

• 1 medium white onion
• A few garlic cloves
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 small can of diced green chilis
• 1 small can of tomato sauce
• 1 medium can of diced tomatoes
• Beans, beans, beans (whatever kind you like) around 4-6 cups.
• 3 tbs chili powder and any other seasonings like black pepper or garlic

Toppings (optional but encouraged)

• Diced red onion
• Sliced avocado
• Corn chips or any kind of chip or cracker
• Vegan or real cheese
• Vegan or real sour cream

Instructions

1. Sauté white onion, pepper and a few garlic cloves. I used a large pot for everything but you could cook these in a frying pan then toss in a crockpot
2. Add diced tomatoes and diced green chilis, and let cook for a few minutes.
3. Add tomato sauce and beans, I use two cans of chili beans and two cans of pinto beans
4. Add chili powder and any other seasoning you might like
5. Optional: add half a cup of water to thin it out a bit
6. Let simmer on low for about 45 minutes or in a crockpot on low for a few hours
7. Add topping and enjoy.
