Ingredients

  • 1 15oz can of black beans-they dont have to be organic
  • 1 15oz can of petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 package Light Life Smart Ground
  • 1-2 cans of water-depends on how thick you like your chili
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion-I put mine in the freezer for about 20 minutes so I dont bawl my eyes out while cutting them
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Your choice of chili seasoning

Instructions

Start out by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic. Add the oil to a medium pan. Add the garlic, onion, chili seasoning and Smart Ground. Cook on medium to high heat until the onions are translucent and the Smart Ground is a little brown. About 10 minutes.

Throw everything in a slow cooker on low for about 4 hours.

Serve hot with rice or cornbread. Enjoy!

I love Smart Ground®

Posted on by

Since we have converted to a mostly vegan diet, we have had to tap into our culinary creativeness when replacing meat in our meals. Light Life Smart Ground® is a GREAT alternative. You get the texture without the grisly chunks of animal meat and the Smart Ground® absorbs the flavor of any seasoning.

We use it in tacos, lasagna, spaghetti and just about anything else you would use ground meat in.

If you want to make meatballs or hamburgers try Light Life Gimme Lean® Beef. Most grocery stores sell them in the produce section, by the packaged lettuce.
