Chili. Let me count the ways I love thee. With cornbread. Or crackers. Or saltines. The limit does not exist.

I friggen LOVE chili. Thick, spicy and sweet stick-to-you-ribs goodness inside a bowl. Soups dream about this their entire lives.

Can you guess what first came to my mind for this month’s Recipe Redux theme?

Favorite Kitchen Tool

Did you receive a trendy new cooking gadget as a holiday gift? Or do you have a tried-and-true kitchen tool you couldn’t do without? Show us a healthy recipe highlighting a favorite kitchen tool, gadget, or gizmo.

My favorite kitchen tool, huh? Maybe my Kitchen Aid mixer, or it’s super cool spiralizer attachment. Or maybe the handy dandy chopper I got for Christmas. I had to think long and hard about what my favorite kitchen tool ACTUALLY was.

Then it was easy, without a doubt…a tie. Between a rubber spatula, and my Food Network Dutch Oven.

I use the rubber spatula every single day, but the Dutch Oven runs a close second. Is just maaaaybe a little more exciting than a spatula. There I said it.

I’ve made countless batches of my favorite African Peanut Stew and Sausage Soup in it, but one of the go-to recipes of my lazy and cheap book of tricks is this meatless chili.

Most of the time, I don’t even cook it, but that’s because I’m odd and like my chili best when it’s room temp or below. The flavor is SO much better, but if I do heat it up, it coordinates rather nicely with the fire engine red Dutch Oven.

Now it’s made with only 5 ingredients, but this is more to serve as a base to doctor up how you like your chili. Here are some of my favorite ways to mix it up. This is such a perfect recipe for when you haven’t gone grocery shopping this week, have absolutely no desire to cook, or are feeling especially glued to your couch, and Friends re-runs. Been there, done that to all the above. Hence, why I am a pro at the no-cook chili game.

Recipe Tips

• Add frozen fire-roasted corn, or chopped peppers and onions for more veggies and flavor.
• Kick up the heat with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
• Mix up the type of beans you use, but I suggest ALWAYS using stewed tomatoes and tomato paste.
• Kick up the flavor by adding a cup of your favorite salsa.
• DON’T drain your beans! It adds to the thickness and flavor.
