This chili is my go-to meal for car camping. You can prep for the meal ahead of time by chopping up all the veggies and heating everything together before serving. You can even add plant-based meat to tie everything together with an even heartier taste.
Add the beans, corn, and chili mix. Cook for about 5 minutes until everything is coated and the spices smell fragrant.
Add the salsa. Fill the salsa jar with water and shake to release any last bits of salsa. Add to the pot.
Bring to boiling. Boil for 3 minutes. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes more.
Remove from heat and serve. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Top your chili with vegan shredded cheese, avocado, vegan sour cream, or tortilla chips, and then serve.
Notes
Adding plant-based meat: To add plant-based meat, sauté 1 cup of plant-based meat crumbles in the oil until browned. Add in the plant-based meat while simmering all the rest of the ingredients in the pot.*Make your own chili mix: Combine 2 tsp. chili powder, 2 tsp of garlic powder, 2 tsp. Cumin, 1 tsp of onion powder.
