40 minThis is chili for folks who want hearty comfort without the meat, and it gets there with TVP instead of ground beef.
Textured vegetable protein soaks up all the flavor from the tomato sauce, garlic, and fresh hot peppers while adding that satisfying chew and protein punch. The pinto beans bring creaminess, and the whole thing cooks low and slow for just 10 minutes once everything’s in the pot.
What makes this especially weeknight-friendly is the oil-free sauté technique. You cook the onions and peppers in a splash of water instead of oil, then add everything else and let it simmer. Clean, simple, fast.
Serve it with cornbread, over rice, or loaded with your favorite toppings. The TVP makes it surprisingly filling.
