Kaiser Permanente has provided an excellent meatless chili recipe. I tried it and was quite pleased. I did cook my own black-eyed peas from scratch instead of using the canned style, used the southern style frozen lima beans, and added some celery.
Fire-roasted flavor and the pairing of black-eyed peas and lima beans distinguish this hearty half-hour chili. People loved the bean combination and the roasted flavored.
