Northwoods Hearty Chili

Sensational vegetarian chili mix packed with protein-balanced nutrition and flavor. Red beans, bulgur wheat, an array of vegetables (green pepper, onion, garlic, and more) and a just-right, not-hot blend of spices, including garlic and cumin. You add canned tomatoes, and if desired, ground beef.

Makes 10 cups

Instructions: Soak beans in 6 cups water, then add 3 15-oz cans tomatoes or tomato sauce and package bulgur, veggies and seasonings. Simmer 2 to 3 hours until done.

Instant Pot directions:. Add all ingredients to Instant Pot (no pre-soak of beans). Cook for 50 minutes on Meat/Stew setting.

Add cooked ground beef, if desired. 

Leftovers can be frozen. Ideal for next day or at-work lunches. 

Cook time (after soaking the beans) 2 hours. Salt-free. Makes 2+ quarts of stick-to-your ribs chili.
