Oatmeal gives a meaty consistency to this tasty, easy, and healthful chili.

Put the chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, bouillon cubes, and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the onions are softened. Add the tomatoes and break them up with a spoon or knife. Stir in the beans, oats, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes.

4-6 servings

Extra-Quick Version: use a 1-pound bag of frozen onions and green peppers instead of chopping your own.

“Meatier” Version: add two frozen veggie burgers, broken into bite-size pieces, along with the beans and oats.
