I'm feeling really American right now. :) Lol* Brought up on meat and potatoes, I needed a midwestern replacement for burgers that don't taste like mushed beans and sprouts with ketchup on top. I'm also not a fan of lots of ingredients that I can't pronounce, so here's my version of chili, since I don't see it here already. :)
I'm not sure what differences there might be in measurement for some of you, math is not my strongpoint, but I can tell you I basically use 1 package or can of each ingredient.
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 can red kidney beans (well rinsed)
1 can (the small can, 8 oz.?) black beans (also well rinsed)
1 can (8 oz. or 2-3 ears) corn
1 pckg. mild vegan chili mix (There are many brands at the grociery store that are vegan though not advertised as such. Just double check the label.)
* I throw all of these in a crock pot on high for about 4 hours, and serve hot with a baked potato and a dairy free margarine spread. I miss the fat from hamburger being in my chili, so if you place a pat of margarine on top of your chili and let it melt, it really tastes great. Doesn't do a whole heck of a lot for your waste line, but it's still much healthier for you than traditional chili.
