Our Chili

Our Chili
(This one DOES use some “fake meat stuff.” But it’s really easy, quick, delicious, and helps us with weight loss, so I thought I’d include it here)

*Also very well received at pot-luck type gatherings.
*And great on a work-night.
*Freezes very well
*I even like it cold the next day as well as reheated!

Ingredients:
4 Boca Burgers (vegan - 1 box) OR Lightline grounds (12 oz) + 2 gardein "chicken" (5 oz) scallopini

2 cans (15-ounce each) stewed tomatoes – with the liquid
2 large Spanish onions
1/3 jar salsa
Earth Balance (soy margarine)

Directions:
Fry the onions in the soy margarine. (Soften in covered pan, then remove lid to let them brown).
Meanwhile:
In large pot (Dutch oven is fine), heat the kidney beans and stewed tomatoes.
Microwave the burgers. Chop them up.
When they’re ready, add the burgers to the pot.
When they’re ready, add the onions to the pot.
