This kid-approved recipe is packed with veggies and beans, then topped with cheese.
Vegetarian Chili
Ingredients
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup corn, fresh, frozen or canned and drained
1 can (15.5 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (14.5 ounces) stewed tomatoes with juice
½ cup bulgur, uncooked
1 cup water
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
¾ cup grated cheddar cheese
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Rinse fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees F in an electric skillet).
- Add garlic, onion, pepper and mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients except cheese.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet and cook until bulgur is soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Use kidney or black beans instead of pinto beans.
- Cook your own dry beans. One can (15 ounces) is about 1 ½ to 1 ¾ cups drained beans.
- One large ear of corn makes about 1 cup of cut corn.
- Top with chopped cilantro, avocado, plain yogurt or any mix.
- Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce if you like a spicy chili.
- If you like a thinner chili, add more water at the end of step 5.
