Vegetarian Campfire Chili


We're right in the middle of our glamping week and unfortunately, we can't live on champagne alone. This meatless chili is a friendly fireside meal that cooks up in 30 minutes and because it's healthy, we can indulge in late night s'mores (and gossip) guilt free!  It's a meat free dish so no worries about whether or not things are cooked to a certain temperature.  My only advice is to chop everything before hand to make it as easy as possible once you're actually on site.  Serve it up with a fresh baguette and some real butter and you've got some happy campers on your hands.

PS - Don't forget your can opener!

  1. Visiting per Kate's tweet! My hubby & I just bought a small toy-hauler a couple of months ago. This looks like a great recipe that would work nicely for us (but we would have to add some kind of meat!)!!
    We camped in N. Ga. last weekend (Trenton)!

  2. @Lifeinasmalltown- Thanks for stopping by! Of course you could easily add some meat to this recipe and it would be delicious. It's a great time to be in north Georgia. The leaves are turning and the weather is perfect.
