Messy But Delicious

I’ve been trying (and not always succeeding) to go vegan since July. I happened to pick up a Nutrisystem Vegetarian Chili at Big Lots for a buck. It was surprisingly good. Of course while eating it I thought ‘I could make this’. Then I remembered that I used to make Chili Con Carne with my mom years ago. So I decided to whip up my own vegan chili. I basically went through my cupboard and added all of the different types of beans I could find. The Nutrisystem version included chick peas which I would have loved to add but I didn’t have any. Most beans should be vegan but double check on the chili beans. Also check your spaghetti sauce because even if it doesn’t say flavored with meat many are. I’m not listing brands because I think it’s irrelevant. Just use your favorites.
