"Vegetarian" Chili

So why is "vegetarian" is quotes? Because this is not a true vegetarian chili. Though it technically doesn't have any meat, I use chicken broth in this recipe but please feel free to use vegetable broth instead!

And let me tell you, my picky picky meat and potatoes husband LOVES this chili. So I'm sure that you will to!

"Vegetarian" Chili

1 6oz can Tomato Paste
1 15 oz can Vegetarian Refried Beans
2 C or 1 15 oz can Chicken Broth
1/2 a medium green bell pepper diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 medium onion diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano

In a medium sauce pan heat your olive oil on medium heat. Add your onions, garlic, and green bell pepper to your oil and saute until translucent. Add your tomato paste and spices and stir until fragrant. Slowly add your chicken broth. And then add your can of refried beans. Stir everything together to break up the beans and the tomato paste and simmer on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes.

This is great over chips or baked potatoes, cut the amount of broth in half and it's a great burrito filling!
