Chunky Vegetable Chili
This flavorful dish is not just tasty but very healthy too. It can serve as the perfect dish for cold days and even a great choice for holiday dinners but be sure that your guests are not kids as it can be too hot for them.
Benefits
The main ingredient for this dish are the chillies. Chillies contain a certain chemical called capsaicin which gives off the intense heat and it is also because of this that makes it healthy. For one, chillies are said to help lower blood sugar levels because it can control insulin levels thus this dish is perfect for diabetics.
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 courgettes, halved lengthways, sliced
2 large carrots, halved lengthways, sliced
1 red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
4 fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 tbsp tomato purée
300 ml vegetable stock
400 g tin chickpeas, rinsed and drained
400 g tin kidney beans, rinsed and drained
6 tbsp chopped coriander leaves, plus a handful mixed with natural yogurt, to serve
brown rice, to serve
Steps
1. Heat the oil in a large heavy based saucepan and cook the onion for 2-3 mins until beginning to soften. 2. Add the courgettes, carrots and chilli and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring well, until softened and beginning to turn golden.
3. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring until softened. Add the stock and beans, then season well to taste. Bring to the boil, cover, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 mins, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the coriander and cook for a further 5 minutes, then serve with brown rice and natural yogurt mixed with coriander.

Award Winning Chili Recipe Ingredients
5 slices thick sliced, hardwood hickory smoked bacon
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small yellow onion, diced
½ - 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 10.5 oz can beef consomme (you can also use beef stock)
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 15 oz. cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 15 oz. can pinto beans in mild or medium sauce (also called Chili Beans)
1 15 oz. can kidney beans in mild chili sauce
2 pounds ground beef
Crockpot Chili Ingredients - Spices
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon Lawry’s seasoned salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Award Winning Chili Recipe Directions
Prepare the vegetables for the recipe first. Roughly chop the red and green peppers and celery. Seed the jalapeno pepper(s), removing the seeds and membrane, then finely dice. Use more jalapeno for a spicier chili. Peel and dice one small yellow onion.
Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet, until the bacon is lightly crisp but not overdone. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Saute the vegetables in the bacon grease for about 5 minutes, until tender. Remove the vegetables from the skillet, draining as much bacon grease from the vegetables as you can. Cook the ground beef in the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook the beef one pound at a time so the meat has enough room to brown and not steam. Break the ground beef into pieces about 1 - 2 inches. When cooked through, remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining meat.
Measure all of the spices into a small bowl, and mix together.
Now it’s time to assemble all of the ingredients into the slow cooker. Mix the beef consomme or beef stock in the crockpot with the tomato paste. Add the Worcestershire sauce and spice mixture, and stir to blend. Taste the mixture and adjust spices as you like. Add the cans of tomatoes and beans, all undrained. Add the beef and sauteed vegetables. Chop or cut the bacon into about ½ inch pieces and add to the crockpot chili mixture. Cover and cook on low for about six hours. I love that this is a crockpot chili recipe! It’s so easy to put together in the morning and have delicious chili ready for dinner!
