Homemade Vegan Chili

Truly my favorite meal that my mom made for me when I was a kid was chili. There were so many vegetables and it was the perfect addition to the pasta alongside. Always a 3:1 pasta to chili ratio. Then I got a little older and switched up the ratios to include a little more vegetables, a bit fewer carbs. Regardless of your preferred ratio, this is the EASIEST one pan meal to make a on a chilly winter evening (I’m sorry…low hanging fruit pun..had to grab it). And so easily adaptable to add or subtract what ever you’re in the mood for – a bit of ground beef or turkey instead of all beans. Adding in different vegetables. It’s just a great base for any/all dietary preferences.
