A delicious vegetarian family dinner ready in just 10 minutes; Smoky Bean Chilli!
Quick meals don’t have to lack flavour or nutrition. We sometime think that home cooking has to take a long time and be complicated.
Not for me! This Veggie Bean Chilli is packed full of delicious smoky chipotle flavour and takes just 10 minutes to make!
TIME SAVING COOKING HACKS
They key to my 10 minute meals is using frozen basics like onions and garlic. It saves you time peeling and chopping, simply add straight from the freezer to the pan.
I also used some chipotle paste from a jar. This will add a tonne of flavour to the chilli but doesn’t require hours and hours of cooking.

Tried this with my own fussy eater and she loved it. We substituted the beans for Quorn mince because she’s sensory and can’t abide texture of beans, but it worked just as well. Served with onion and garlic dip, cheese and nachos. I think for me next time I’ll slice some avocado on top too.
