Guilt Free Chili




This was my first time of cooking with meatless ground and I am really impressed with how good this turned out. The texture, flavor and consistency all resembled meat - I honestly don't know if people would know if I didn't tell them (although I would NEVER do that!). If you eat meat, you can substitute lean ground turkey, beef or chicken in place of the meatless ground.

1 large red onion, chopped
2 tbsp. chili powder
2 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 large zucchinis, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 - 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 can Rotel, drained
1 - 12 oz. package Yves Meatless Ground
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained

Heat a soup pot over medium high heat, spray liberally with cooking spray and saute the onion until soft, about 4 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, minced garlic, salt, jalapenos, and Rotel and continue sauteing. Add chopped bell peppers and zucchini and continue to cook. When vegetables are beginning to get soft, after about 10 minutes, add the "meat", tomato sauce and beans. Turn heat to medium low, partially cover, and let simmer 1 hour.

Serves 6.
