Quick Vegetarian 3-Alarm Black and Red Chili
I was vegetarian for years, so I know my way around the options. I came up with this chili because I like tomato-based chiles and black beans. The TVP and soy sauce provides the umami and familiar texture of ground beef. My kids (10, 8, 7, and almost 2) rate a three as just hot enough to require a glass of milk to go with it, so put on your big kid pants and eat up!
Quick Vegetarian 3-Alarm Black and Red Chili

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil on low heat in an 8qt pot, and toss in the onions and jalapenos.
- 2
Add the oregano, epazote, chipotle, ancho, salt, and the bhut jolokia, and stir and simmer a few minutes.
- 3
A note on the bhut jolokia. That little dried bhut jolokia, or ghost chili, raises the alarms from about 1 to 3. So, if you are faint of heart, you may want to skip the bhut.
- 4
Add the TVP, the soy sauce, and all of the tomato ingredients, and stir the lumps of tomato out.
- 5
Now add the beans and peanut butter. Remember, you want the natural peanut butter, not the one with partially hydrogenated oils and sugar added. Stir well to incorporate the peanut butter.
- 6
Now add the water and cream and stir intermittently about 5 minutes until the TVP has absorbed all it can.
- 7
For the finish, add in the cilantro, salt to taste, and serve.
- 8
A couple of notes: First, you may find yourself adding a notable amount of salt to get the flavor to your liking. Most commercial chili is pretty salty. Second, the chili, as pictured, is fresh made, but chili is always better and thicker the second day.

Vegan Chili Vegan Chili
We were hosting a get together for Sunday football and several of our invited guests don't eat meat. 2 of them were vegan so I promised I would have options for them. I really started over thinking it because I had never made vegan recipes... meatless yes, but not vegan.Then I started to think of football faves that I enjoy. Then it hit me... CHILI! Chili is one of my all time favorite foods especially during the fall and winter. I made a vegan version and let me tell you... you won't miss the meat. Everyone at the party ate it and loved it :-)I made this the day before and then just heated it in the crockpot the next morning.

Vegetarian Chili Con Carne Vegetable Chili and Rice Vegetarian Chili Con Carne Vegetable Chili and Rice
I learned about the chili and rice from my roommate when I was studying in the United States, and I started making it quite often even after I came back to Japan. I became a vegetarian recently, so I made a vegetarian version of chili con carne.I didn't think it would be possible to make it vegetarian, but I did it! Give it a try!You don't have to use the same kinds or same amount of vegetables in this recipe. Just use as a reference. Using the lotus root is my original idea. I think celery would be nice as well. You can double the amount of the beans if you like. You can use a canned red kidney beans instead. Apparently, the lotus root is even more nutritious if you wash it well and cook unpeeled, without soaking it in water (it's supposed to be effective against hay fever). Recipe by suziehippy -
