Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo is one of my favorite meatless products and probably one of the few processed foods I eat. It has the consistency of hamburger and I am not someone who likes spicy much, so its kick is just mild enough to satisfy me. This and a simple beans and rice recipe are my two favorite uses of it.
This chili freezes very well and since it's a crock pot recipe, it can cook while you are at work
2 Tblsp. Olive Oil
1 med red onion chopped
1 med red bell pepper chopped
12 ounce package Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo
Heat olive oil in large skillet and add peppers and onions, sautee 2-3 minutes and add chorizo (remove the plastic casing!) Cook until chorizo is thoroughly cooked.
Place onions, peppers and chorizo mix in a crock pot and add the following:
1 15 ounce can tomatoes UNDRAINED
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (Trader Joe's kidney beans aren't packed in sugar)
1 1/2 cup frozen corn (doesn't need to be thawed)
12 ounce can V-8
2 Tblsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
Stir well and cook in crock pot 6-8 hours or until satisfied with consistency
