How to Make Gluten Free Vegetarian Chili!
Winter is almost here. It is cold outside and a nice time to make a hot bowl of chili! I used to love my Mom's chili on a cold winter day! A warm, hearty meal on a cold night is just what I needed today! It is so cold out as it is around 42 degrees out and it's raining as well. Not only is this a tasty meal to eat in the colder months but it has so much protein in this! Over 20 grams per serving! Beans are excellent for you and so are the vegetarian grounds used in replace of meat here. I found a chili seasoning that was gluten free so that was nice. Chili is the perfect meal!
Ingredients needed:
One pack of Imitation Grounds for chili
One lrg. Onion
1 lrg. Green Pepper
1 8 oz.Can of stewed tomatoes
1 8 oz. Can of tomato sauce
1 can of kidney beans
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 pack of Mccormick Gluten free chili seasoning
2 Tbs. brown sugar
3 Tbs. Oil
Toppings:
Cheddar Jack Shredded cheese & Sour cream
Stir all ingredients together on top of stove stirring often on medium high heat. After about 10 minutes of cooking on high and stirring, your onions should be clear now. Simmer on low for the next 5 to 6 minutes stirring often.
Enjoy!
You will need these items and a few more...
Gluten Free Spices are great to have! I have all the spices yet it's nice to add these as well for more flavor!
If you like it spicy, add more of this and the chili powder until you like it. I'm a lightweight in the spices Dept.
If you're brave, you can add some of this red hot chili sauce to your chili!!
Fresh Garlic is amazing for your health, it is a natural antibiotic! It has so many cures from lowering blood pressure to helping your overall body, garlic is amazing and should be eaten daily.
Emeril's knives are pretty spectacular!
I have a garlic presser but I like to dice it for chili.
I wish I had a sous-chef! Then I would never cry again with onions, lol! At least for chili, you don't have to cut them up so small.
I like green peppers!
Add everything to your pot or pan.
These are all unedited photos, the colors are naturally vibrant!
Make sure to keep stirring it as you do not want it to stick- you will need to use a non stick pan and about 3 tbs. of oil as needed when it gets dry while stirring.
Keep stirring it as you do not want it to burn, alter the heat as needed and add a little water water if it's too thick. I made a mess stirring it a lot but it didn't stick and was cooked evenly.
Top with cheddar cheese and sour cream and you are all set!
Sour cream helps with the heat as well!
These sweet cornbread gluten free muffins go excellent with chili! I will have to put those in another post soon!
Stay warm today with some chili! This will go great with cornbread, make a Taco-Chili salad with tortilla chips , lettuce,etc.! This makes a lot so maybe tomorrow is Taco Salad day with Chili! I kinda like the muffin as well, that makes a great corn muffin sandwich! I think I will enter that in @jaybird Steemit Sandwich Contest!

Looks tasty! Great photo blog @clove71
Thanks! Chili is perfect this time of year when it's cold here. :-)
This is amazing food! #delicious
Thank you! <3
I am neither vegan nor gluten free, but this looks great! I may have to try it out
I'm not vegan or gluten free either, although I do eat about 75% Gluten free. This is so good, the sweetness of the cornbread and the meaty chili together. If you like Southern Cuisine, I think you would love it. It's cool to have a dish that is good for you but tastes great too.
Looks good, must taste good. Tx
Thanks so much! It tastes good indeed. :-)
That looks amazing. :) I'd like to put it in a salad :) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! That will be my next post, I'll make the taco salad- chili one tomorrow! :-)

That's another great share.
I've resteemed your post!
OMG @clove71, I'm resteeming so I can keep the recipe close by! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I love to cook a lot of things that are vegetarian and gluten free but taste like Southern Home cooking foods, lol! It's so easy these days to do just that and it tastes the exact same or sometimes even better! I resteemed your Steemit Art Logo's they are super gorgeous and I need to try that! Thanks!
