    Veggie Chili -Kick *SS Style

    February 16, 2021 by Christy Leave a Comment

    Veggie Chili in a crock with french bread and fresh parsley near by.

    New England is cold in February! Kick *SS Veggie Chili seemed in order because it's comfort food that can be easily made using what I have on hand in my pantry. I stocked up on a lot of canned items during COVID19 that needed to be put to use and this chili recipe helped me do just that!

    2020 was legendary, quiet frankly the craziet year of my life! The grocery store isle's bare of the essentials like bread, pasta, eggs, meats and let's not forget about the toilet paper shortage! Who would have known that toilet paper would be so hard to find? The price of these items has also skyrocketed since.....way to monopolize on a pandemic!

    About to make veggie chili

    Canned beans were used in this veggie chili. Make sure to rise the beans before adding. This step really makes a difference as the preservatives used make them a bit slimy and in my opinion taste salty which probably is sodium. Some Canned black beans have added spices to give a "mexican flare". I'll admit I do buy them sometimes and rinse half the can. You should do what is most comfortable for you.

    • Veggies on a cutting Board. Peppers, Onion, Carrots , Celery and Potatoes
    • Parsley chopped on a cutting board

    Rotel canned tomatoes are used in conjunction with regular canned tomatoes. Rotel has a few heat levels, I recommend the mild version if you have kids or even omitting altogether for a small jar of tomato sauce instead.

    A few Potatoes are added to give depth and consistency .
