Recipe Summary Meat-Lovers' Vegetarian Chili
This is a thick, hearty vegetarian chili that is a hit at parties even among die-hard meat eaters. The TVP gives it the texture of ground beef, and the chiles give it a nice depth of flavor. Cook it in the slow cooker or on the stovetop. This recipe really benefits from using the best quality ingredients you can find. Also, I find this tastes best after sitting in the fridge overnight and reheating the next day. Serve with grated cheese on top.Ingredients | Skyline Chili Recipe Vegetarian6 tablespoons olive oil, divided2 large red bell peppers, seeded and chopped2 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped1 large onion, chopped5 cloves garlic, minced1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, or more to taste2 cups hot vegetable broth2 cups texturized vegetable protein (TVP)3 tablespoons nutritional yeast1 (32 ounce) can canned diced tomatoes, undrained2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed½ cup beer1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste½ cup cider vinegar3 tablespoons soy sauce3 tablespoons lemon juice2 tablespoons chili powder2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder4 teaspoons seasoned salt1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce1 tablespoon paprika1 tablespoon ground cumin2 teaspoons dried oregano1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring1 teaspoon ground black pepper1 teaspoon white sugarDirectionsHeat 3 tablespoons olive oil in skillet over medium-low heat.

Mix to combine.Cook chili on Low for 6 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.Use your favorite beer!For low-moderate spice, start with 1/2 to 1 jalapeno, but 2 or 3 (or more!) may be needed if you like it hot. I'd recommend starting on the low side and checking the spice level after 3 to 4 hours of cooking, adding more jalapeno as needed.The longer this chili cooks, the better. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a large pot and simmer on the stove over low heat for 4 to 6 hours.Info | Skyline Chili Recipe Vegetarianprep: 40 mins cook: 6 hrs 15 mins total: 6 hrs 55 mins Servings: 12 Yield: 12 servings
