Chili Vegetarian Style

A festive hardy dish perfect for large gatherings!

Prep Time:  20 Minutes

Cook Time:  28 Minutes

Serves:  16

Directions:

1. In a large, non stick, stock pot heat olive oil. Saute jalapeno pepper, onion, and red and yellow peppers over medium heat until onions are translucent (5-8 minutes).
2. Add the remaining ingredients and slowly bring to a boil. Cover pot and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Serve hot. Chili tastes best when allowed to sit overnight. Refrigerate chili in covered pot overnight. Bring to a boil over a low heat, stirring constantly. Serve with SPLENDA® Hearty Corn Cakes.

Note

If hot chili is preferred, increase the ground cayenne red pepper to 1 teaspoon, and increase the chili powder to 7 teaspoons. If sweeter chili is preferred, increase SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener to 2/3 cup.
