Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced white or yellow onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 package Impossible Ground Meat
- 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 15 ounce cans kidney beans
- 1 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes (fire-roasted if you can find it!)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Preferred Toppings of choice: shredded cheese, scallions, avocado, cilantro, sour cream
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and salt and cook until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook another 30 seconds until just fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until the tomato paste is darkened and coating the onions.
- Add the Impossible meat and all of the spices: chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beans and their liquid, the crushed tomatoes, and the broth, and stir to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chili is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. If the chili is too thick, add in more broth.
- Taste, adding salt as preferred. Then, stir in the apple cider vinegar. Divide into bowls and top with preferred toppings, and enjoy.
Notes
The cayenne can be optional, depending on spice preference.
If you want a more meat-heavy chili, double the spices and the Impossible meat to two packages.
