- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 tsp. olive oil1 cup chopped onion1 medium carrot, thinly sliced2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed or thinly sliced2 red bell peppers, chopped (other colors would be fine, but I love the sweet reds)1 medium sized jalapeno, seeds removed and finely chopped2 1/2 tsp. chili powder1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin1 1/2 tsp. salt28 ounce can of crushed tomatoesWater to fill the 28 ounce tomato can1 10 ounce can of Ro-tel1 15 ounce can of fat free refried beans (I used Trader Joe’s fat free refried black beans with jalapeno)1 15 ounce can of dark kidney beans, drained and rinsed1 cup of canned pumpkin1 cup of uncooked bulgur (I used the Hodgson Mill bulgur with soy for an extra punch of protein)
Directions:
Heat oil in a large pot. Add the onion, carrot and garlic and saute for 7 minutes. Add the bell pepper and jalapeno and saute for 5 more minutes. Stir in the chili powder, cumin and salt. Add the can of crushed tomatoes, and then fill the can with water. Add the water and the remaining ingredients to the pot. Stir well. Make sure that your refried beans get broken up. I only mention it because mine were trying their best to maintain the can shape. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
This makes 8 servings. I weigh the batch and divide. Each of my servings was 420 grams.
