Beefy Black Bean Vegan Chili

Beefy Black Bean Vegan Chili

Here in Northern VA, it’s that time of year when people really don’t know how to dress for the day.

It’s 40° in the morning and a comfortable 75° by mid-afternoon. I see the ones who still insist flip-flops are perfectly fine – they’re in total denial of the cold that is slowly creeping in (my husband is solidly in this group but that is another story entirely).

Meanwhile, I’m over here happily wearing my boots and scarves every day. In spite of my Southern upbringing, I love the cooler weather and cannot wait to be snowed in over the coming months with nothing to do but craft, watch movies, and make soup.

You can have this hearty bowl of deliciousness on the table in 30 minutes, easy.

Serve this chili on it’s own or with your favorite toppings.

Chili topping ideas:

• vegan cheddar cheese
• sliced jalapeños – fresh or pickled
• crushed tortilla chips
