Vegetarian Chili Recipe

This vegetarian chili is till every bit as warm, comforting, and filling as a classic beef chili. Three types of beans do the heavy lifting in the chili and “beef” it up. It’s filled with warm spices, and a jalapeño adds a little extra heat. Add a second or keep the seeds in for even more spice! Serve it on a cold night with a slice of homemade cornbread. 

Meal prepping? This chili will last 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Be sure to let it cool completely before storing, and leave off those toppings to keep things fresh. Reheat in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. (Add a couple tablespoons of water to loosen it if it’s too thick!)
