I wanted some chili sooooo bad yesterday!! I have always loved Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm chili but never made it veganized. So I decided I was up for the challenge.
I used a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes with green chili flavor (I dont remember seeing any actual green chilis but didn't really look. It was organic, a brand name Muir i think), 2 8 oz cans of tomato sauce and about 2-4 cups of water. I cooked it in the crockpot for 2 hours then added 3 cans of RINSED kidney beans for another 1 1/2 hours. DELICIOUS!!! I usually cook dried beans but didn't start them in time to use. Luckily I had a few cans of kidney beans. I read to rinse the canned beans real good to help reduce gas/stomach issues. It rinses the skin or something like that off. I could look it up but I'm tired and unmotivated. Regardless, me and Braden both ate it and for the first time, the chili didn't upset my stomach!!! I was worried because it usually does. Even Amy's vegan canned chili makes me sick. Crazy sick actually. So maybe I just got lucky. Maybe it's the lack of grease, I don't know.
I'm rambling and exhausted. I'm calling it a night!
Can he get any cuter??!!
