Homemade Vegetarian Chili
If you are in the dead of bone chilling winter and need some extra comfort, make a batch of The Best Cornbread to go with it! And to keep the warmth coming, enjoy a cup of Hot Cocoa!

What You’ll Need
3 full Stalks Celery
1 large Onion
1 tbsp Butter
27 oz can of Bush’s Mild Chili Beans
8 cups Tomato Juice
4 cups Stewed Tomatoes
12 oz bag of Morningstar Crumbles
1 cup Ketchup
3 tbsp Chili Powder
2 tbsp Golden Greek Peperoncini

How to Make Vegetarian Chili
Dice 3 full stalks of celery and 1 large onion and saute in butter.
In a large pot, cook 16 oz box of Barilla Cellentani Noodles to Al Dente, which means tender but firm. Drain noodles and return to pot.
Add 27 oz can of Bush’s mild chili beans, 8 cups tomato juice, 4 cups stewed tomatoes, 12 oz bag of Morningstar Crumbles, 1 cup ketchup, 3 tbsp chili powder, and 2 tbsp golden Greek Peperoncini to the drained pot of noodles.
Simmer until piping hot.
Adjust chili powder as needed to personal taste.
You Might Also Like
Noodles – Any noodle works, but the Barilla Cellentani Noodles hold together best.
Toppings – This chili can be topped with a dollop of sour cream and/or shredded cheese.
Crackers or Bread – You can serve any crackers or bread with it.
Baked Potato – It works as a great baked potato topping!
Vegan – It can easily be made vegan by using vegan butter and vegan toppings.
Quantity – This recipe makes a huge pot of chili, so if you aren’t serving an army or freezing for the future I recommend cutting the recipe in half.
Freezing – This chili freezes easily in a freezer safe bag or container.
