Cracked wheat chili
Last Updated on December 18, 2025

The bulgur wheat in this chili adds a lot of fiber, and it looks like ground beef. As a result, this healthy vegetarian chili looks like traditional chili.

Directions

In a medium soup pot, heat oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell peppers and garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the water, bulgur, kidney beans, black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly as the water is absorbed into the bulgur.

Serves 12
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 6 cloves minced garlic

  • 1 1/2 cups dry bulgur wheat
