Recipe: Vegetarian chili with corn bread

This recipe uses the Quorn faux hamburger crumbles again. You could of course substitute ground beef, sausage, ground turkey, or whatever else you fancy. But again, if your going the veggie route, stay away from the Morning Star hamburger, yuck.

I highly recommend the no salt added tomato sauce. I used regular once and it was way too salty.

Chili Ingredients:
1 onion
1 bell pepper
2 jalapenos

1 anaheim pepper

1 package, 12oz Quorn frozen crumbles aka soy hamburger
1 15oz can of kidney beans
1 15oz can black beans
1 15oz can pinto beans
2 15oz cans no salt added tomato sauce
1 15oz can corn
1 1/2 cup low sodium veggie broth
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
cheddar cheese
sour cream

Spices:
1 teaspoon garlic, fresh or jarred
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 -1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add near the end to taste)
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
fresh ground pepper

Recommended: Disposable latex gloves for chili handling.

Put one jalapeno and the anaheim pepper in the oven under the broiler. Roast until skins are black, then cover with foil or in a bowl.

Heat oil over medium high heat in a large pot. Add diced onion, diced bell pepper, and "hamburger". Cook hamburger through. Add all beans, 2/3 can of corn, and both cans of tomato sauce. Add veggie broth, all spices, and tomato paste. Turn heat down to medium low and cover.

Put gloves on. Peel and seed your broiled peppers under cold water. Dice and add to the chili. Dice the fresh jalapeno and add to pot. Leave chili covered or partially covered on medium low heat while you make the corn bread.

Corn Bread Muffins
 This one is straight from the back of the corn meal box ;) Makes 5-6 large muffins
Pre-heat oven to 350

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn meal
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons melted butter

Add it all to a bowl and mix it up. Pour into greased large muffin tin. Bake for 18-20 minutes

When muffins are done, taste test your chili. You may want more salt, I keep it low for dh. Sometimes I add extra cumin or chili powder.
