You gotta love a hearty, vegetarian chili that comes together in just 20 minutes. No need to simmer on the stovetop for hours on end! Stock up on canned beans, corn, and tomatoes so you can make this super-fast, one-pot meal whenever the temptation hits. Just be sure that you use a heavy, sturdy pot, or the chili can burn easily. If it starts to stick to the pan, reduce the heat and stir constantly. Along with the canned beans, corn, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce, the chili is flavored with garlic, chili powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, and dehydrated onion flakes. Oh, and we couldn't forget the cheddar cheese on top.
