Chili Outside, Warm in the Belly

Chili is definitely one of those dishes I always make really good or really terrible. I think I did alright, so I wanted to share this recipe. The only thing I would do differently (next time) would be to add some TVP to make it seem meaty.

Vegetarian Chili

1 onion
1 red pepper
6 cloves garlic
1 small hot pepper
2 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1 heaping TBS chili powder
1 TBS rosemary
1 TBS cumin
1 Tsp oregano

let it stew in a pot for a couple hours. I made mine during nap time so it was ready for dinner. I don't think it would taste bad if it didn't simmer all day either. I like the feeling of having dinner done early in the day.

garnish with sour cream, smoked gouda (or cheddar), chips and fresh tomatoes and cilantro

When I prepared the girls dishes I made a flower for them. They dipped the chip in the chili and used them as "spoons."
