Obviously I'm a fan of big, one-pot meals. There's one splurge item in this recipe, fake beef, which really isn't that bad anyway.
*2 cups onion, small diced
*1 1/2 cups green pepper, small diced
*2 tbsp garlic powder
*2 tbsp vegetable oil
*2 packages of Yves Ground Round (or about 25oz of something else)
*1 big can stewed tomatoes (NOT roasted!!!)
*5 oz tomato paste
*2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
*2 cans kidney beans
*3 tbsp chili powder
*salt and pepper to taste
1. In a large saucepan, saute the onion and pepper until tender but not browned.
2. Add the faux meat and start to brown over medium-high heat. Drain any extra oil from the pan.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer (uncovered) for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the chili has reached it's desired thickness. Stir occasionally during simmering.
This makes about three quarts of chili.
Now for cornbread!
OVEN 400°
*1 1/4 cup flour
*1 1/4 cup cornmeal
*1/4 cup sugar
*2 tbsp baking powder
*1 tsp salt
*substitute for two eggs
*2 cups water
*3/4 cup margarine, melted
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the egg subs, water, and margarine.
3. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix!
4. Pour into an 8x8 pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes.
Good luck!

You come by the One Pot Gene naturally, I'm afrad. I told Lori essentially the same thing the other day...I need to branch out and make something that's NOT in a dutch oven.
Glad you're back! :-)
Craig wanted me to tell you that wheat germ has feelings, too, you know. And then he muttered "hippy kibble" under his breath. Not sure what it all means.
Hahahahaha.
You will never find a single grain of wheat germ in my house, unless it was put in here in the dead of night by militant hippie terrorists.
However, I do currently have three blocks of tofu in my fridge, and that's pretty bad too.
Excuse me? Is this thing on? Hello?
Hey, Slacker Chick! We need some holiday recipes so we can feed your sister!

Hi Carrie!
Here's a quick and easy Quinoa Chili recipe for ya. I'm an unabashed carnivore, but I can cook without very easily!
Quinoa Chili
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 28oz canned tomatoes, broken up
• 1 qt tomato soup (either ready to eat or condensed mixed with water)
• 2 cans kidney or pinto beans (or any beans or combination of your choice)
• 1 cup quinoa
Sauté onion until translucent. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and, if desired, other spices of your choice (cayenne pepper, etc.).
Mix in soup and canned tomatoes. Add beans and simmer for 15 minutes. Add uncooked Quinoa to chili and cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
Enjoy!
