Homemade Vegetarian Chili Recipe

in #food7 years ago (edited)

If you aren't a meat eater, or perhaps you are out of meat and don't want
to go shopping just to buy meat. Either reason might be the reason you
would want to use this recipe.

My husband made this chili about 20 years ago for the first time. Since
then, I have made it dozens of times. I have made it for parties, family
dinners, and even to give away to someone who may be recovering from
an illness. The great thing about this chili, is you can add you own
seasonings. Tonight I added some cilantro, garlic salt, black pepper and
salt. Other times I add the typical chili powder. Sometimes I put seasons
on the table for family and friends and let them choose how they want it
to taste.

RECIPE:

1 large can of diced tomatoes or 3 smaller cans
1/2 chopped white onion
2 large carrots peeled and diced
6 large sliced mushrooms
1/2 diced green or yellow pepper
3 diced stalks of celery, including the leaves
1 1/2 Cup water
2 cans of beans - include the entire can. I like a can of black beans
and great northern, but you can choose whatever kinds you like.
Some people like kidney and garbanzo. The black beans are small
and black. The great northern are larger and white. The black and
the white gives a bit more variety in color to the pot.

Add everything to the pot and turn the burner on medium. After
a 10-15 minutes, stir it all and turn the burner down to low and cover.
Let cook for 15-20 minutes and stir again. Keep checking how done
the veggies have gotten. If you like the veggies well done, cook a
little longer. If you like them more crisp, shut off the burner and
leave the cover on until the time of serving. Either way is fine.
Remember, this is YOUR Chili.

To dress up your dish, add some cheddar cheese before eating or whatever you might like.

Or blend it for those who like it that way also with a topping, like cheddar cheese or sour cream.

It looks delicious. I always like to save recipes and try them. I invite you to see my recipe for Chilis with cheese and nachos.

sounds yummy to me....now following you too. and an upvote for you...aha!! :)

It looks nice..... Can I try it?

sure! go ahead! You can make it pretty easily - that's the fun of cooking - you get to eat it too!!
thank you for your comment too. upvoting you.

It would be difficult to eat for me

why is that?

Too many things mixed :)

No doubt it looks delicious, nothing like preparing things at home thank you very much for the recipe @buddy67

actually, I decided today that eating out is way too expensive and you really don't know what you are really eating. Who's hands were really washed....yuck! and did they throw something in from the day before? I like my food organic, when I can get it, washed, and fresh. It's such an easy and good for your whole body recipe, you might as well try it. upvoting you.

Very expensive in my country it is impossible to eat outside, we also do not know what hygiene they have, thanks @buddy67

Great post @buddy67! It looks absolutely delicious, even with no meat! Bravo to your husband for being such an awesome chef.

glad you liked it. I have never been much of a meat eater - even when I was a kid...if you have kids, don't make them eat it - only if they want to...I think it has to do with each person's digestion. upvoting you too.

yummy

yes, it really is and even you can make it! just be careful when you are dicing the carrots....tricky!
upvoting you too

Good food, i like that You added Cheese. Please Also check my blog thank you

ok I will

You like cats? Than check my last post thank you

l used to actually be scared of cats, buy my daughter brought kittens home, so got to loving their independence and loyalty. My husband and I used to take walks around the block (1 mile) with our daughter and dog and the 3 cats would follow us. It looked like a parade. The neighbors loved it. Wish I had a picture of that one. :)

I've been looking for some easy inexpensive low fat veggie recipes. And a good thing about it....I don't have to write it down because it's on steemit. Muchos gracias.
