Made with bulgar wheat instead of hamburger, this is a taste treat! It usually takes me awhile to gather the ingredients - it may not take you as long to get ready.
Ingredients:
4 cups cooked kidney beans (or any other kind you choose)
1/3 cup oil
2 large onions, diced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 large green pepper, diced (optional)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup bulgar wheat
28 ounces tomatoes, chopped (reserve juice)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion, for serving if desired (optional)
Directions:
1. In a large pot, sauté onions and garlic and green peppers in oil.
2. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, bay, & bulgur.
3. Cook for two minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
4. Add tomatoes and juice and sugar.
5. Add beans, soy, water, salt & pepper.
6. Cook on low heat for at least 30 minutes.
7. Add butter just before serving.
8. Serve topped with onions, if desired.
9. The original recipe came from a vegetarian cookbook. I added the optional ingredients.
10. I like it topped with grated sharp cheddar cheese.
