Ingredients

    1.5 lbs of ground beef (80/20)
    1 Roma Tomato, finely chopped
    1 Can Diced Tomatoes (Garlic/Herb)
    1/2 cup chopped onions (red or yellow)
    1 small orange sweet bell pepper (mini pepper)
    2 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
    1/2 cup to 1 cup of vegetable protein (bulk section)
    1/2 cup of chili powder (more/less to preference)
    2 tbsp of minced garlic
    fresh parsley and cilantro to season to your taste (I use 1-2 fresh chopped tbsp or more)

Tips

Garnish with a Mexican cheese blend, extra onions, and sour cream for extra protein - as desired. Makes a yummy and wholesome dinner!


Directions

In a stockpot, add ground beef, onions, pepper, chili powder, garlic, parsley, and cilantro. Stir frequently to mix seasonings and brown meat. When the meat is almost brown, add in 4-6 cups of water (more or less, depending on how soupy or thick you like your chili). Bring to a nice simmer. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup of cold water and cornstarch. Stir until soupy and blended. SLOWLY add the cornstarch into the chili, blending as you pour. Also add in the finely chopped tomatoes and can of diced tomatoes. Bring back to a simmer. In a bowl, allow the vegetable protein to reconstitute with 1 or more cups of water. When soupy and soft, SLOWLY add into the chili, stirring and blending as you add it. Allow the chili to cook for 60-90 more minutes at a good simmer, stirring as needed.
