Chili with Quinoa
Gaf
"My husband said this is the best chili yet! Plus it is so easy to make! To serve, put a small amount of pasta in a bowl and spoon in chili with quinoa. Add a dollop of sour cream (vegan or regular) and a sprinkle of chives for garnish. Enjoy!"

Ready In
- Saute onion and garlic in a stockpot over medium-high heat until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili beans, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and sugar; pour in 2 cups water and simmer until flavors blend, about 1 hour.
- Bring 2 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir quinoa into chili.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- This is enough to serve 8 people and still have some left to freeze. My family loves this!
- Sugar substitute (such as Splenda®) can be used in place of white sugar.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

I loved the quinoa as a meat substitute, but the recipe itself could definitely use more spices. It tasted heavy on the tomato and too bland

I added a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and doubled the beans. My carnivorous family loved the vegetarian twist. Using quinoa is a great substitute for ground meat. Next time I'm going to add be...
