I have to re-figure the points, it used to be 2.5 pt per serving. I, actually, needed a place to post it, so I could save it to Pinterest!

 

Vegetarian Chili

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 cups water

1 1/2 cups dried lentils -- (9 ounces)

1 cup onion -- chopped

1 can corn (approx. 16 oz.) -- rinsed and drained

2 cans stewed tomatoes -- (approx. 16 oz each)

1 6-oz. can tomato paste

1 packet taco seasoning mix -- (1-1/4 oz.)

hot sauce -- to taste

crushed red pepper -- to taste; optional

 

Toss everything into a large pot or Dutch oven. Bring chili to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and let cook for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning. Depending on consistency, add more water as necessary. (Note: I didn't need to add any more water.)

** Original recipe calls for 2 packets of taco seasoning mix.

I use only one and find it to be quite spicy.
