Spicy Vegetable Chili​

Recipe Description

Forget anemic veggie chili. This stuff is hearty, spicy, and GOOD!!​

Preparation Steps:

I didn't have celery, so I didn't add it. Also, I don't like kidney beans, so I used chili beans instead.​

Level of Difficulty:

Easy​

Time Needed:

30 min [+cooking time]​

Ingredients:

2 large onions, chopped
2 c. medium green sweet peppers, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 28 oz cans diced tomatoes, undrained
2 15-16 oz cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 15-16 oz cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
1 c. water
6 oz tomato paste
2 T. chili powder
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. dried oregano, crushed
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. hot pepper sauce​

Serves:

Approx 12 servings​

Directions:

In a 6 or 7 qt slow cooker, stir together all ingredients.
Cover, cook on low for 9-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

**This recipe can also be used for Cincinnati-Style Chili and Noodles!! Reserve 6 cups of chili, then add into that 1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped; 1/2 t. ground cinnamon; 1/2 t. ground allspice; 1/8 t. ground cloves. Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles with cheese and onion for garnish!**​

Sounds really good! I would just sub the Worcestershire sauce because of the anchovies, but I bet my family would like this. Thank you.

Sounds good......I would cut some of the fire though.

And add MEAT.........where's the beef???

:bump: I am making this today, and it smells SO good!

I think Madhen has a crockpot as big as my car because mine wouldn't hold everything! :lol:

The only major changes I made was using dried beans instead of canned and used black beans instead of pintos.

 

[madhen]

Just went back to the recipes to find this, and saw you made it, Lady_V! What did you think?

sounds delicious. i plan on making it tomorrow

change of plans. i'm out of corn. so i'll make it when we restock corn. but thanks for the recipe!

 

[madhen]

The nice thing about it is that you don't have to be perfect. It would taste just fine without the corn. Or you could add rice or pasta instead. I am making it today, and I am actually out of canned corn, but I always have frozen corn on hand for the chickens, so I am going to steal some of theirs!

 

[Paws]

This sounds delicious!
Think I'm gonna have to add this in for next week...thanks for sharing!!

 

[madhen]

You will not regret it. I've made it about four times now. I make up a big batch (and yes, it will fill up your crockpot), then freeze it in single-serving sizes. I especially like it on top of pasta.

 

[thesightofoneself]

i'm going to the store soon to get corn. i plan on making it with lentils instead on beans since i dont eat beans. so i'll have garlic, corn, chili powder, tomato past and lentils.

 

[madhen]

Sounds excellent. Unless you have the freezer space, you might want to halve the recipe. It makes a LOT.

 

[madhen]

Did anyone by chance save the recipe for this? Am hoping to make it again, but I don't have the original recipe anymore, and it is still MIA in Frugal Village.

 

[madhen]

Yes, yes, yes!!! Thank you, Gabe, for getting the cookbook up and going again! I thought I had lost this recipe to the sands of time!

 

[madhen]

Making this again today - my whole house smells SO good!!
