How to take the stress out of veggie chili.

Probably the most stressful thing about chili is wondering if all the time and energy you spent on those spices and ingredients… will actually turn out.

The last thing you want after all that effort is a wasted pot of chili. Ugh! So today, let me share how to take the stress out of veggie chili!

This post is happily sponsored by Pure Texan Chili – championship chili you can make at home!

Keep it fun.

Think about all the times that you’ve been to someone’s home, watching the game, lounging around, playing cards, or binge-watching Netflix. 

Was chili involved?  

If it wasn’t, it should’ve been! Chili is fun food!

Keep it simple.

Instead of working about the right ratio of all the ingredients, find a recipe that works, and memorize it by heart by making it over and over again. 

Similar to having that go-to Taco Tuesday meal or that Sunday Roasted Chicken dinner, chili is one of those stress-free and simple meals that we all should learn how to do without thinking.

The best way to keep meals stress-free is to keep simple ingredients always at your fingertips. Stock the basics in your pantry: canned beans, tomato sauce and chili mix.

Have you heard of Pure Texan Chili?

At the urging of friends, Alan and Susan Dean decided to make their award-winning championship chili available to everyone by packaging and selling their Pure Texan Chili spice blend! 

They sell their Pure Texan Chili packets online (and on amazon) and what I particularly love about them is that they don’t get fancy with tons of product line extensions.

Alan and Susan stick with their chili mix because their mix is a winner.

Because they keep it simple… we can keep it simple.

Keep it healthy and delicious.

You’ll find tons of recipes created by Alan on their website. Since it’s fall and the cool weather is here to stay for a while, I decided to check out their Veggie Chili recipe.

The ingredients for this veggie chili recipe are simple and healthy. We’re talking sweet potatoes, cauliflower, squash, black beans, tomato sauce, water, and yep, you guessed it! One packet of Pure Texan Chili mix. 

Deeeeeelish!

Next time I’m adding a can of kidney beans and using a little less of the chili mix. That way I can either double the recipe or save half the package for another bowl of chili! Either way, I’m keeping this mix on hand and so should you. Here’s the link to buy some for your pantry.

What are some of your favorite chili toppings? 

Stay warm, happy, and remember to have a little fun with your food.

Ya’ll, this @puretexanchili chili truly is delicious! We ate it right away in the bowl with our favorite toppings. ⁠
⁠
I also made a quick cornbread and sprinkled the chili right on top with cheese and baked it. Super yum!⁠
⁠
I know there are so many camps when it comes to chili: beans/no beans, ground beef/cubed steak, canned tomatoes/no tomatoes, onions/no onions… let me be the first to say that this chili is perfection.⁠
⁠
It seriously needs nothing else.⁠
⁠
Except for toppings and a spoon.⁠

⁠
Order the mix by February 1st so you can have it for the kickoff! ⁠
⁠
They ship everything via Priority Mail within 24 hours so, if the USPS is working smoothly, February 1 should be a very safe ‘order by’ date. ⁠
⁠
Great news, the recipe for making their Championship Chili is right on the Pure Texan Chili Mix bag and it is sooooooo easy to make.⁠
⁠
We’re talking simple no-fuss steps: ⁠
⁠
Brown two-pounds ground beef, drain and add mix, add 8 ounces tomato sauce and 10 ounces of water. Summer very slow for 45 minutes and voila! Done!⁠

Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to it those words all over again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠
⁠
You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠
⁠
…Oh forget it! Every day is the perfect moment!⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
