We alway have chili. A few years ago I started making this healthier version in addition to our regular ground beef chili.

Vegetarian Chili

Makes 10-12 servings

3 c chopped onion
4 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 medium carrots, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp oregano
2 Tbspchili powder
4 cans diced tomatoes
2 c V8 juice
4 cans pinto beans, drained
2 medium zucchini, chopped
2 c corn

Cook the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrots in olive oil until crisp-tender. Add all seasonings and cook 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes, V8, and beans; simmer 20 minutes. Add zucchini and corn and heat 10 minutes.

What a great thread. I need to start a notebook for football recipes - not just Superbowl but also for tailgating in the fall. Cannot wait to try the buffalo chicken dip. It sounds soooo good, but my thighs will not thank you come June! LOL.

I have my Super Bowl section set up in my notebook....I want to print some of the info in the links and include it in the section also...then My Holiday Recipes Notebook will have not only recipes but interesting stuff about each holiday....I often like to create trivia games to use for a little attendance prize at events I host and all this info will make it easy to organize stuff.

I seen a crockpot shaped like a football on sale for $12 at Big Lots last week....that would be great for some of these recipes but I didn't get it because I already have 3 crockpots and have no idea where I would store another

I bought the crockpot that is designed like a football field last year, I don't remember where, anyway I gave it to my brother and when he cleaned his car out at my house he took it out of the trunk and in the garage it still sits. I also bought the football shaped crockpot off of ebay a few months back and after seeing he hasn't used the crockpot I decided not to give it to him!!! I will probably be working for Superbowl Sunday but I can make something in the crockpot and do my best to watch the game while at work on the tv screen if no one is working out that doesn't want to watch the game....lol

GO GIANTS!!!

Our youth director and his wife from church are hosting the youth group after church Sunday night to finish watching the game. I've volunteered to bring chips and dip, so this is great! Thanks...still weighing my options-when feeding teenagers, you have to think volume!! I'll let you know what I make! :heartbeat:
