2 bags of your favorite ground veggie (I used Gardein)

1 ½ teaspoons of salt

1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes

2 (15 ounce) cans of kidney beans

Chili Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and bell pepper. Cook until soft
  2. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt and cook about 1 minute.
  3. Add the ground veggie, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and beans.
