Easy Vegetarian Chili


It's well into the 80's every day here, so not sure why any kind of chili sounded appealing, but I went with it and loved the results. This is seriously easy, very satisfying, delicious and as a pleasant bonus - healthy!

Easy Vegetarian Chili:
(serves 4)

1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can white beans (drained and rinsed)
1 28 oz can whole tomatoes & juice (no salt added)
3 c corn (fresh or canned/frozen, no sugar or salt added)
12 oz water or beer
1 chipotle chili, roughly chopped
2 tbs chili powder
1 tbs cumin
Salt and pepper to taste (the beans have salt, so you may not need much)
2 tbs (or to taste) hot sauce
Sour cream, greek yogurt, crema, cheese, etc. for serving
Snipped chives for garnish

Directions:
Combine, heat, simmer until desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve!

  1. This looks so delicious, and really healthy too :)

    I often crave this kind of warm, comforting food when it hot, although I think it's an odd thing to want then too!

  2. That chili looks tasty. I like the corn in it. It would add a touch of sweetness.

  6. I LOVE the addition of beer in chili...and kielbasa! Add the chipotle and you've got me hooked.
    Now about the weather in the 80's...I think I could live with that after the winter we just got over!

  13. Wow! Fast, easy and delicious. Makes a lot of chili. I used fresh corn cut from the cob and since I like things pretty hot, I used a lot of hot sauce. Smokin' hot! I sent the recipe to some friends. It's great with the big scoop of sour cream and chopped green onions.
    Great recipe!
