Vegan Four Bean Chili

Vegan Four Bean Chili

Our cool chili really makes the difference in this hearty, wholesome dish!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 1 can each, rinsed and drained: black beans, pinto beans, great northern beans, kidney beans
  • 3-4 tablespoons Stuart’s Spices Cool Chili Seasoning
  • 1-1½ cups vegetable stock
  • Optional: Add your favorite vegetables to bulk up and add extra nutrients! We love adding carrots and zucchini because they go great with the cool chili flavors.

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized pot or Dutch oven, sauté onion and pepper together until tender, then add garlic and sauté for a few more minutes until garlic is fragrant.
  2. Add tomatoes, vegetable stock, and chili seasoning, mix to incorporate, then cover.
  3. Simmer together for 15 minutes or until flavor tastes well-mixed.
  4. Add in all of the drained and rinsed beans and stir, careful not to stir too hard, and let simmer for another 10 minutes.
  5. Season to taste, and enjoy!

Tips

For a fuller flavor, add in a can of your favorite tomato sauce! Or swap the regular diced tomatoes for a tomato and green chili blend. You can also add a wide variety of other vegetables, including carrots, corn, and even zucchini!
