                    I received this recipe from my sister last winter. She was trying to convince me that chili didn't need meat to be satisfying. She was right. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I have Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 large onion, chopped  |  
                                                1 large green pepper, chopped  |  
                                                2 garlic cloves, minced  |  
                                                1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, undrained  |  
                                                1 beef (optional) or 1 vegetable bouillon cube (optional)  |  
                                                1 tablespoon chili powder  |  
                                                2 teaspoons cumin powder  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)  |  
                                                2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, undrained  |  
                                                1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced  |  
                                                1/2 cup bulgar wheat  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Place all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and stir well. 2. Turn on low and cook for 6 hours. 3. Serve over a baked potato or whole-grain brown rice. 4. **This recipes can be made on the stove if you don't have a slow cooker. 5. Cook over low heat and stir periodically to prevent sticking. 6. **You can use dried black beans, soaked overnight and then boiled and simmered for about 2 hours. 7. If using the bouillon cube for vegetarians it must be the vegetable bouillon cube.                              |
