No Sweat Vegetarian Chili

28

Another easy and great meatless Monday recipe… vegetarian chili! Normally, I make this with hamburger meat, but with the cost of meat prices nearly double here in Japan. I try to incorporate a few veggie meals throughout the week. Now I know why all those Japanese people are so skinny. I would incorporate four nights of veggie meals if my husband would let me. It’s enough that he complains that I’m turning him into a vegetable… oh bother… I don’t hear Little One (LO) complaining.

One cup of Kidney beans soaked overnight.

One cup of Pinto beans soaked overnight.

Can of Corn – a cup of frozen corn works as well

Can of diced tomatoes

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 tablespoon of garlic powder

Dice up your onion. I like to have big chunks in my chili, but that is all about preference. Drain the water from your beans and add all your ingredients into your pot. Allow to simmer for 45-60 minutes....
