Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon safflower oil

2 medium onions -- diced

1 small red bell pepper -- diced

3 large tomatoes -- diced

2 cups tomato puree

1 cup bottled spicy barbecue sauce

4 tablespoons chili powder

commercial or homemade

(see separate recipes)

1 teaspoon hot sauce

1 teaspoon light brown sugar

Salt and pepper -- to taste

12 ounces cooked ground beef alternative -- see note

2 cups cooked kidney beans

 

The smoky sweetness of the barbecue sauce adds a rich taste to this

flavorful chili. To keep in the backyard barbecue spirit, serve it with

coleslaw, corn chips, and other picnic fare, even it it's snowing outside.

 

Heat oil in a large chili pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell

pepper and cook, covered, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the

tomatoes, tomato puree, barbecue sauce, chili powder, hot sauce, sugar, and

salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture to a boil, adding water if mixture

is too thick. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring

occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add ground meat alternative and beans and

cook 15 minutes longer.

 

Note: Such as Morningstar Farms Burger-Style Recipe Crumbles or Green Giant

Harvest Burgers for Recipes. Both come in 12-ounce packages and are

" precooked " or already browned.
