Happy wintertime!!

I have a go-to vegan chili recipe that's so easy even I can't mess it up. You can scale up how lazy or not you want to be by deciding if you want to saute the vegetables or if you'd rather buy them pre-chopped and frozen. This makes approximately a billion years of food, and it freezes really well.

Ingredients:

1 bag frozen chopped onions, or 2 large onions

1 bag frozen sliced bell peppers, or 1 green and 1 red pepper

4 tbsp (approx) olive oil if you’re using fresh peppers and onions

1 bag frozen sweet corn

1 large can crushed tomatoes

1 large can diced tomatoes

2 cans black beans

1 can small white beans

1 can roman beans

Spices: I am not 100% sure on these measurements, I just put a lot in these vague ratios and adjust until it tastes good

2 tbsp cumin

1.5 tbsp smoked paprika (if you want it REALLY spicy, add a dash of Hungarian paprika)

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tbsp Mexican oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp black pepper

Optional, if the chili is too spicy, add 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions:
Get a big pot and put it on medium heat. If you’re using fresh onions and bell peppers, dice them and saute with olive oil in the bottom of the pot until translucent. Dump all the canned and frozen ingredients in the pot. Add spices and mix. Bring to a healthy simmer, then turn down the heat to low. Let the chili simmer for 2-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.

Alternatively, you can use a crock pot. You’ll want to saute the peppers and onions first in a pan if you’re using fresh ones, then dump everything in and turn it to cook for 6 hours. If the chili is too thin, take off the lid for a couple hours to let it thicken.

If you want to un-vegan it at the end, add a dollop of sour cream and/or a sprinkling of sharp cheddar cheese on top. Eat until you are tired of chili, then freeze the rest!
