Easy vegetarian chili recipe?

Question

The only beans I have on hand are 1 can of black beans, 1 can of chickpeas, and 2 cans of white kidney beans.

Answer 1

Here's the recipe I use.  It's easy and delicious (and happens to use exactly the beans you have on hand.)  I make it in the crockpot, but if you don't have one, you could adapt the cooking time to the stove.

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red or yellow bell pepper, chopped

2 carrots, sliced thinly

1 1/2 c corn (I just use frozen)

1 zucchini, diced

1 can kidney beans, rinsed

1 can black beans, rinsed

1 can chickpeas, rinsed

2 15oz cans diced tomatoes (I use the ones with jalapenos)

1 1/2 c water

1 1/2 Tsbp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

dash cayenne pepper

dash tabasco

Chuck it all in the crock pot, stir and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Answer 2

Try this... it's what I use, just cut out the fake meat and substitute whatever you have on hand... that's the beautiful thing about chili; it can use almost anything.

Answer 4

I usually go super-easy when I make chili.  I take a can of chili starter, a can of crushed tomatoes, and a can of kidney beans, throw it all together and cook for 10 minutes or so.  Sometimes I add in Morningstar Farms crumbles.

Answer 5

When I make chili I just put a bunch of different kind of beans in, your selection sounds fine. Then I also use a can or two of stewed or chopped tomatoes, and a can of tomato paste. It really depends on the thickness you like your chili.

If you like it spicy add in some chopped green chilis or chopped jalapenos. Also a package or two of chili seasoning and I usually add a little more cumin and chili powder to taste. I throw everything in the crock pot and crank it up to high for a few hours.
