Vegan Chili Topped with Cornbread

Today’s post is sponsored by CorningWare! We’re cooking up some winter comfort food in a pair of their Meal Mugs.

Although racking my brain for a enjoyable individually portioned recipe I kept circling back to pot pies. Pot pies pot pies pot pies. Because I posted the recipe for my vegetable biscuit-topped pot pie last month I necessary to give the ol’ pot pie a twist.

In the finish I landed on this hearty vegan chili topped with cornbread. It’s kinda pot pie-esque but I don’t think I’d truly phone it a pot pie, ya know?

Before going veg at the tender age of 13, I loved Tim Horton’s chili and I often went for the bread bowl (a correct carb-lover by way of and via.) This chili is a minor Tim Hortons-esque, the base ingredients are red kidney beans, tomatoes, vegan “beef” crumbles, mushrooms, green pepper, carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. This chili is the epitome of hearty, meaty, satiating chili – it’s exactly the recipe I’d want to serve to a vegan-foods-adverse -omnivore . If you’re not a fan of vegan “meats” just depart it out and add an added 1/two cup each of kidney beans and mushrooms.

The Meal Mugs come in when the chili is ready. Divide the chili between 2 Meal Mugs, prime with cornbread batter and bake for 35 minutes at 350F. Freshly baked cornbread AND piping sizzling chili all in one particular big satisfied mug. Perfection.

These mugs are wonderful and roomy (591ml) creating them ideal for huge, cold-day-sized-servings of chili (or scorching chocolate, tea, coffee, soup, you identify it!). They’re made of sturdy, non-porous stoneware (meaning they won’t stain or soak up flavours or food smells.) They’re risk-free to be utilized in your oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. The vented lids are BPA free of charge and microwave and best rack dishwasher protected.

This recipe makes ample for 2 genuinely hungry men and women and scales up very easily if you want to serve much more men and women. It’s freezer-pleasant also!
