Vegetarian Black Bean Chili is loaded with flavor and substance-thanks to the meatless burger crumbles. Serve with your favorite chili toppers. Ingredients:
3 (15.5-oz.) cans black beans |
1 large sweet onion, chopped |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
4 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 (14.5-oz.) cans petite diced tomatoes with jalapeño peppers |
1 (12-oz.) package meatless burger crumbles |
1 extra-large vegetable bouillon cube |

Directions:
1. Drain and rinse 2 cans black beans. (Do not drain third can.)

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Serve chili with desired toppings.
3. Meaty Black Bean Chili: Omit vegetable oil. Substitute 1 lb. lean ground beef for meatless burger crumbles.

Spoon batter into a lightly greased 12-cup muffin pan. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until done. Split warm muffins, and spread with additional pimiento cheese.
