SuperSoy Chili

Super-Soy Chili

This is a flexible recipe that can easily feed a family or be doubled (or tripled) to feed a crowd. It's great for the vegetarians or persons-looking-to reduce (cholesterol) meat intake, BUT the meat-lovers don't notice the difference and LOVE it too.

1 cup dry super soy ground beef (meat substitute)
Note: come dry and will be reconstituted.
1 cup hot water
1 tsp super soy onion broth powder (optional, may use bullion or other seasoning)
1 can mexican chili beans
2 cans diced tomatoes (green chili optional)
2-3 8oz cans tomatoes sauce1 small - medium onion diced
1 pkg Chili seasoning
1 small green pepper diced
salt/pepper/sugar to taste




Sautee onion and green peppers in pot (use spray oil or olive oil to coat pot). Heat water to boiling, dissolve bullion cube or broth mix, stir in super soy, let sit a few minutes. Once onion and pepper are cooked (beginning to soften), fluff super soy with fork then add to pot.
Add chili beans, diced tomatoes, tomatoe sauce, and package of chili seasoning and stir thoroughly. Heat to mild boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 - 30 minutes. Add salt, sugar, or pepper to taste.
(Note = sugar will cut the "tanginess" of the tomatoes).

Variation--1.)This can also be easily prepared in a crockpot. 2.) additional can of tomatoe paste will thicken chili

It's item #205 OR you can find meat-substitutes at a local Health Food store.
