Gluten-Free Vegetarian Chili Recipe

It’s getting to be chilly weather. Which means chili weather! Like the word play I did there? Either way, you’ll like this chili, so let’s get to it! This Gluten-Free Vegetarian Chili recipe is simple to make, loaded with veggies, and so flavorful and hearty that no one will miss the meat.

This chili is made with Pastene’s minced garlic, tomato paste, and ground peeled tomatoes – so delicious. I like this brand because they basically have all the Italian pantry staples you could ever need. I used chili peppers in two ways here – canned diced green chilies and fresh bell peppers. I also used two different beans – garbanzo beans and kidney beans – because I like the variety in flavor and texture that it brings. And last but certainly not least, my secret weapon for this is steak sauce. It adds a nice umami flavor that is reminiscent of the flavor meat would provide, sans meat!

With the upcoming chilly season, here are some more gluten-free soup and stew recipes I bet you’ll love.
