The Best Vegan Chili ANYWHERE!!!

We were watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory the other day and they were all sitting around at Raj's apartment eating chili and "BAM!!!" it hit me, time to veganize a chili recipe and boy did this one turn out great!!! I used a package of Yves Veggie Original Ground Round to replace the ground beef and you REALLY can't tell the difference once it's all cooked down in all the other stuff.
Mine turned out medium but I'm posting the HEAT adjustments so you can make it the way you want :)

The Best Vegan Chili ANYWHERE

1 large purple onion (300gr.)
1 large bell pepper (225gr.)
*3 Jalapenos, chopped very fine, seeds removed (60gr.)
1 tbs. canola oil (15gr.)
1- 28oz. can diced tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup Heinz Chili sauce -------------------------------------->
2 - 12oz. bottles of budweiser beer
2 tbs. chopped garlic (50gr.)
1 tbs. chili powder
2 tbs. Frank's RedHot sauce
1.5 tsp. cumin
1.5 tsp. salt

2 pkgs. Yves Veggie Original Ground Round
1- 19oz. can red kidney beans, drained and rinced
1- 6oz. can tomato paste

Heat the oil in a large pot, add the onions, pepper and jalapenos and cook until tender. Add the remaining ingredients except the last 3. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to almost low, so it's just lightly bubbling and don't cover it, you want it to reduce quite a bit. You'll notice it's quite soupy at this point but not to worry it will be nice and thick once you're done. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 hours. Add the Yves Veggie ground round and cook for 30 minutes longer. At this point you should notice that it has thickened up quite a bit. Now add the beans and tomato paste and cook for 1 more hour. Remember to bring the pot back to a boil after each addition. Voila! Great vegan chili! Just like the big boys eat! :P

Serve with corn bread and a dollop of vegan sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.... and a big glass of water!

*7 Jalapenos = INFERNO!!!!
*5 Jalapenos = HOT!!
