BBQ Chili

This bbq chili is one of the ultimate comfort foods. It is sweet, smokey, and satisfying. Yet another kick ass recipe from Vegan Planet, this chili is one of our favorite meals.



BBQ Chili
1 Tbs canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 28oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup water
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 Tbs tomato paste
2 Tbs chili powder
1 tsp brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups vegetarian burger crumbles
3 cups (or two 150z cans) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Heat the canola oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the onion and bell pepper, cover, cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and juice, water, bbq sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, brown sugar, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the burger crumbles and beans and cook for another 15 minutes to blend the flavors. Serve hot with crusty bread and a salad!

Serves 6.
