Quick Zesty Chili Recipes

QUICK CHILI RECIPE (23 MINUTES!)

Steps:

• Dice the onion.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in pot or Dutch oven. Cook the onion for 4 to 5 minutes until translucent.
• Stir in the veggie crumbles and cook 1 more minute. Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, drained and rinsed kidney beans, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and kosher salt.
• Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes. If it's very chunky, add up to 1 cup water or broth: all brands of diced tomatoes and veggie crumbles have different levels of moisture.
• Taste and add a few pinches kosher salt and some shakes of hot sauce to taste. Serve warm garnished with your favorite chili toppings.

SPICY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, brown the ground beef and ground sausage, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain most of the grease and remove meat to a plate.
• Add onion, bell peppers, and jalapeño peppers to the pot and sauté on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Add spices, ketchup, lime juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, and V8. Stir well. Add beans, tomatoes, and salt and pepper.
• Return the ground meat to the pot and bring the mixture to a low boil. Turn to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 1-2 hours.
