Whip up a flavorful, veggie-packed chili using leftover Bloody Mary mix and any vegetables you have.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 large portobello mushrooms, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 banana pepper, seeded and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (16 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 6 ounces bottled Bloody Mary mix
  • 0.5 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 0.5 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, mix together black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans, then cover with fresh water and soak for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a large pot, gently heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, and banana pepper. Sauté until they release their juices and become slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine drained beans with vegetables in a pot. Stir in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, Bloody Mary mix, and tomato paste. Season with chili powder, salt, oregano, sugar, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer uncovered over gentle heat until reaching desired thickness, approximately 1 1/2 hours.
