BBQ Chili

Categories: Vegetarian

Prepared: 2006-04-06

thanks to cristina for submitting her vegetarian chili recipe to us as part of the nature challenge!

Ingredients:

• 2 onions, cut up
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 packages of Yves Veggie Ground Round (original flavour)
• 2 cans of red kidney beans
• 1 (28oz) large can of diced tomatoes
• 1 Tbsp cumin
• 3 Tbsp chili powder
• 2 Tbsp oregano

Preparation:

• sauté onions and garlic until golden
• add Ground Round. I toss them around in there until the ground round is hot (about 2 minutes)
• add red kidney beans and diced tomatoes
• stir it all up (it looks a little like soup at this point)
• let it softly bubble for about an hour, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes
• add in cumin powder, chili powder, and oregano flakes.
• let it gently bubble until it looks like chili. about 2.5 to 3 hours
• stir relatively often... never leave it go for more than 15 minutes, otherwise you get burnt bits
