"Lavish" lifesyles
simplicity . grace . LOVE
. . . . . . . . . .
No matter how big or small your home is,
it seems everyone's favorite place to gather is the kitchen!
So on that note, my husband Tim & I designed our
new home around a large kitchen!
We both love to cook ... but even more,
we LOVE friends who cook!!
One beautiful afternoon,
our dear friends Andy & Lynne Lovett
stopped by to share Andy's "Award-winning"
Vegan Chili with us ... and with you!
. award-winning recipe .
note ~ this recipe is made in a crockpot
& best when prepared in advance
- medium spicy -
1.5 lbs "Beyond Meat Patties"
(you can substitute with real meat)
1 large yellow onion - chopped
2 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp chili powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp hickory smoke sea salt
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground jalapeño pepper
1 tsp hickory liquid smoke
(3) 15.5oz cans white kidney beans
(2) 28oz cans diced tomatoes
(2) 10oz cans Rotel (diced tomatoes & green chilies)
(2) 4oz cans diced jalapeños
(1) 4oz can diced green chilies
(1) 12oz Guiness stout beer (optional)
. directions .
In a large frying pan cook Beyond Meat, breaking it up
While cooking, add chopped onions.
Cook down for about 5 minutes

Add garlic & all dry seasonings
Continue to cook an additional 5 minutes &
add beer until the mixture starts to thicken.

In the meantime,
turn on "high" a 3 quart crockpot
Add all the remaining ingredients,
(including the juices) into the crockpot
Once the Beyond Meat mixture has cooked down,
add it to the crockpot & mix in well.
Leave on "high" for about 30 minutes,
stirring occasionally.
Turn heat to "low" and allow to cook
for 4-6 hours


Serve over rice ... or as Andy suggests,
over a handful of Frito chips!
Pair with your favorite cornbread recipe.
I love to add fresh whole corn kernels & diced chilies
to my cornbread for a hardier flavor
& drizzled with a touch of whipped
honey-butter ~ The combination of
Andy's spicy chili with the sweetness
of cornbread .... yummmm!
Gather . Eat . LOVE!
THANK YOU to my treasured friends!
. bon-appétit .
