My positively delicious chili


Bulgur Chili

1 cup of butter
½ cup chopped onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
2/3 cup bulgur
2 cups water
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1 can pinto beans, rinsed, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed, drained
1 red pepper diced
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 zucchini, diced small
2-3 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. dried oregano, crumbled
½ tsp. dried basil, crumbled
½ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. black pepper

In dutch oven, heat butter, onion, pepper, corn, zucchini and garlic; sauté until tender. Stir in bulgar; continue cooking until slightly toasted. Add water; simmer, covered, until bulgur is tender (10-12 min). Stir in next 10 ingredients; heat thoroughly. 



(The best thing about the chili is that even though it's delicious the first day, it's also wonderful for the rest of the week, 
a smidgeon served with some hot dogs and so on.)
