Vegetarian Beet Chili

The Super Bowl is on the horizon and you know what that means!! Snacks on snacks on snacks. People are going to come over and want to be fed really delicious comfort food. You know it’s going to happen.

On the flip side people will come over and be all like, “ugh why is there all this junk food? I’ll just eat later.”

Sure, the Super Bowl can be a time to indulge a bit. But, I think it’s also fun to do fun new takes on old favorites. Enter chili chili chili!! You know my obsession with chili is real. It started in college when I took my first spoonful. The I began piling it on nachos and it was a slippery slope from there, you guys.

Well, I thought it would be fun to do a lightened up, vegetarian chili. The taste is ON POINT. It is packed with goodies and you don’t even miss the meatiness.

Oh! And there are smoky shredded beets in there that adds more depth and deliciousness to the dish. If you’re looking to dip your toes into the beet pond, I’m strongly suggesting you take a gander at Love Beets! They’re pre-packages, already cooked beets infused with flavor!! It takes the time and mess out of your beet consumption, you won’t be disappointed 🙂

So let’s make some Vegetarian Beet Chili!

Place the olive oil, onion, bell pepper, and celery in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the veggies are soft and the onion is translucent.

Add the garlic cloves, vegetable broth, Simply Organic spices, and diced tomatoes.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer until it reaches a thicker, chili consistency. Mine only took 5 – 10 minutes. Finally, add the shredded beets, and stir everything together.

Remove from the heat and transfer the chili to individual bowls. Top with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, whatever you want!
