Chili Non-Carne – Friday Food

We love Chili! When we greatly cut back our meat eating, we found it can be just as delicious without it. A friend (who doesn’t leave meat out) had already got me on to adding rice to it. Add a pan of cornbread with honey butter and a salad – yum, yum!

Lisa’s Good for You Naturally™ Chili Non-Carne

Rinse and Cook – until just soft, not mushy:

3 c. dried pinto beans (in at least 12 c. water)

Add:

1 c. brown rice (uncooked)

1 lg. can/jar (28-32 oz.) crushed tomatoes

1 lg. can/jar (28-32 oz.) diced (or whole) tomatoes

(or you can use all of either or 3-4 1# cans)

1 med. fresh chopped onion (or about 1/4 c. dried)

1 sm. (or 1/2 lg.) chopped green pepper

2 Tbl. (or more) chili powder

1/8 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)

1/2 tsp. dried minced garlic (or a couple cloves fresh)

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

Simmer at least an hour, until rice is soft. Adding more water if necessary.

S&P as desired.

My dh prefers more cayenne and adds hot sauce (Tapitio) at the table too.
