Vegan Three Bean Chili Recipe For Winter Nights

by Lindsay Robeson | November 11, 2018

Chili is a great winter meal that is hearty and full of flavor. I love to eat it on a cold crisp night to warm me up.  It’s a quick one pot stop for a dinner and perfect for freezing for later meals. This vegan three bean chili has a protein packed blend of black beans, red kidney beans, and pinto beans. One bowl and you will definitely be full and satisfied. We love to pair this mild chili with our sweet cilantro cornbread, but in a pinch tortilla chips or oyster crackers will do the trick. This is a great recipe for your kids too because it’s not too spicy. Pour a heaping spoonful over french fries, top with vegan shredded cheese and they will be happy to stop playing and clean up for dinner. The great thing about chili is you can make it an endless dinner possibility by adding different vegetables or spices.
