Spicy Vegan Chili

Today was a cold December day, and on days like these a nice bowl of vegan chili definitely comes to mind. I'm not sure if there are any restaurants in the area that make vegan chili, but I decided to make my own since I wanted to add specific ingredients and make it spicy. This recipe does not require a lot of money, time, or ingredients. I spent a total of $15 on ingredients, and bought everything organic.

I used Beyond Beef Beefy Crumble for the meat. It is a truly amazing product, and I did a review on it in a previous post. It's high in protein and tastes unbelievable. I am constantly asked about vegan sources of protein, and this product is just another great example of a high quality vegan protein source.

This recipes uses eight ingredients, and after combining all of your ingredients and letting them simmer for about half an hour, you are on your way to enjoying a great bowl of vegan chili!

Make a rich, spicy, filling, bowl of vegan chili using only eight ingredients!
