Ingredients:1 sweet onion
2 cloves garlic
2 or 3 bell peppers (I like to use different colors for fun)
small can green chillies
2 or 3 chipotles in adobo sauce (international foods isle in a small can)
1 small can diced tomatoes
1 small can crushed tomatoes
1 can black beans or dark red kidney beans
2tsp each cumin, chili powder, cayenne and whatever else you like
your favorite textured vegetable protein I like quorn or yves meatless taco stuffers (optional)
Chopped fresh cilantro and red onion or scallions for garnish
saute diced onion in evoo and add diced peppers when onions begin to soften. This would also be the time to add any other veggies you want (carrots, zucchini, squash). Once ingredients gain some color, crush garlic in and stir for 1 minute. Add diced chipotles with as much of their sauce as you want (HOTT). Add all cans and spices. Cook on medium until sauce is thick (about 30min). Mix in vegetable protein if you want at the end and serve with garnish and multigrain chips!
This takes a little longer to cook but is great to make on weekends and bring for lunch.
Prep time: 15min
Cook time: 30-40min

I'm going to have to make this - it was soooo good at superbowl. I know you made that version mild for us wimps. Did you omit the chipotles entirely?
k
no i put one or two peppers in but it was more chili than i typically make. you could just use a little chipotle hot sauce instead of the real peppers which you wouldn't really use all of. oh and you can buy a pre-made spice packet for chili if you don't want to mess with all the spices. they are very mild.
All made! My first batch of chili is very very tasty... I added a full large can of crushed tomatoes (because that was the only size they sold) and 1 can of both black and kidney beans. I used Yves fake meat... er I mean TVP ;) I put in only half a can of the green chilies, no chipotles, and half of the cited amount of cayenne, and it seems just about the right spiciness for me. I'm going to freeze this stuff and eat it for weeks... yum.
