Ingredients

1/3 C. olive oil
2 medium onions chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
2 jalapeno peppers chopped
1 mild pepper chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 green pepper chopped
2 large tomatoes diced
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 cans rotel tomatoes and chilis
2 15 ounce(s) cans dark red kidney beans
3 C. water
4 Tbsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 Tbsp. oregano
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
salt pepper to taste
Tabasco to taste
1 C. textured vegetable protein

Cooking Instructions

Saute onions, garlic, and peppers in oil until onions are translucent. Add spices and simmer for two minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding the tvp last. You can adjust the amount of tvp to obtain the desired texture and consistency. You can substitute beer for the water for a more unique flavor. One jalapeno makes a mild chili (two were used for the cookoff). Simmer from four to six hrs. It’s even better the next day.
