Vegetarian Chili....yum

Every Fall, I get in the mood for chili. Since I didn't grow up eating it, I have a very unofficial approach to chili throw a bunch of things together and taste constantly to prevent a crisis. So, the recipe below is a bit of a mess, and ridiculously simple, but people tend to love it.

Vegetarian Chili

• 4 cloves of garlic minced
• 1 tb of olive oil
• 1 large can of crushed tomatoes
• 2 chopped green peppers
• 2 cans of kidney beans
• 2 cans of navy beans
• 2 cans of cannellini beans
• 2 tb of cumin
• 3 tb of chili powder
• 3 tp of hot sauce, or more to taste
• soy crumbles (optional)
  
• salt/pepper
• Garnish with shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, etc
  

1. Heat olive oil, saute in garlic, in a large sauce pan. Stir in green peppers and saute.
2. Pour in tomatoes, beans, and spices. If you would like soy crumbles, throw them in now.
3. Simmer for 1-2 hours. Stir once in awhile so it doesn't burn too much on the bottom.
4. Add Salt and Pepper, and garnish.

This is very good reheated.
