   • Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients and equipment. Ensure your vegetables are washed and chopped for easy cooking.

2. Saute Vegetables:

   • In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add diced green pepper and onion to the pot.
   • Saute the vegetables until they are tender and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients:

   • Once the vegetables are soft, add the diced tomatoes, chili beans, black beans, and whole kernel corn to the pot.
   • Crumble in the Morningstar Farms Better ‘n Burgers to add a meaty texture without using real meat.
   • Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, and seasoning salt for flavor. Stir the ingredients thoroughly to combine everything evenly.

4. Simmer:

   • Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
   • Allow the chili to simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

5. Serve:

   • After an hour, check the consistency of the chili. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of water or vegetable broth to reach your desired thickness.
   • Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, chili powder, or cumin according to your preference.
   • Once the flavors have melded together beautifully, it’s time to serve your vegetarian chili hot.
   • Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
   • Enjoy this delicious and wholesome vegetarian chili with your family and friends, especially on chilly evenings when you need a comforting meal to warm you up from the inside out!
