We are trying to eat less meat.

Today I made chili using crumbled frozen spicy black bean burgers instead of hamburger. I suppose true meat lovers wouldn’t consider it chili but more of a vegetable stew. But it was pretty tasty. A bowl of it with a small square of corn bread was pretty filling. (of course I made mine un-vegan by putting a blop of light sour cream on top)

I used chopped onion, garlic, celery, red and green peppers, a can of diced tomatoes, a can of tomato sauce, a can of corn, a can of “chili ready beans in mild sauce” a TB of tomato paste, and the crumbled black bean burgers which I thawed out first….simmered it till everything was soft. Added more tomato sauce at one point because I wanted it saucier.Tasted it and added a teaspoon of brown sugar to cut the acidity. All my tomato products were “no salt added.”
