I am obsessed with chili. I love trying different recipes. Dan saw this recipe on the side of my TVP (textured vegetable protein) and told me we should try it. When he came home from work yesterday and saw I made chili he told me I was crazy because its over a 100 degrees here. What can I say.... I love chili!  I haven't used the TVP for any recipes really. I generally mix taco seasoning with it and have tacos.



Ingredients

2 cups of boiling water
2 cups of TVP
2 Tbsp Ketchup
2 large onion, diced
1 green pepper
1 jalapeño
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2- 28 oz can of tomatoes, diced or chopped
2- 16 oz can of kidney beans with liquid

1. In large pot boil water and pour on top of TVP and ketchup. Set aside.
2. In large pan heat oil and saute onions, peppers and garlic until tender.
3. Add seasonings to TVP mixture. Stir with fork. Then add to vegetable mixture.
4. Add kidney beans and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 30 min - hour.

This was definitely a great chili recipe. It's not my favorite. I am still a fan of this and this. Dan thought it was very good and I think he might even consider it to be one of the top chili recipes i've made.  I kind of wonder if I should try to combine all my chili recipes into one. Haha! That's probably not a good idea.
