This amazing Vegan One-Pot Bean Chili is so delicious! A perfect, easy vegan lunch or dinner. It's also gluten-free & oil-free!
I have been loving chili lately! It is so comforting and perfect to make a batch of for the whole week.
I am all about ease in the kitchen, so saving time whenever possible is always a huge bonus.
I love eating chili straight from the bowl, but recently I wrapped it into a warmed corn tortilla, topped it with some shredded lettuce, and that took the chili to a whole new level!
I highly recommend trying that out if your looking for a fun new twist or a way to use up leftovers!
I teamed up with SunRidge Farms to bring you this scrumptious, hearty Vegan One-Pot Bean Chili recipe. SunRidge Farms is an amazing company that is dedicated to providing the healthiest, cleanest, non-GMO and sustainably sourced products to the public!

From nuts and seeds to dried fruits to cereals and grains to delicious chili blends (like the one I used in this recipe!) - they have a huge variety of true, quality items.
Next time you're in your grocery store's bulk section, look for SunRidge (their name will be right above the ingredients on the bulk label)! Their products are also available for purchase on their website.

Equipment you'll need: large pot, colander
1 cup SunRidge Farms Organic Chili Colorado Blend (uncooked) + 4 cups water*
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
3 Tbsp + 4 cups water

1.5 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 Tbsp paprika
1/4 tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
Dash of cayenne
Salt and pepper, to taste
1. Add chili bean blend and 4 cups of water to a large pot, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off stove and let beans soak for one hour.
2. Pour beans into colander. Rinse and drain.
3. Add 3 Tbsp water to pot, and sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking. Stir frequently.
4. Add in soaked beans and all remaining ingredients (except optional garnish), and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce to simmer, and let cook (covered) for 2 hours, or until beans have fully softened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Note: at about 1 hour, taste (carefully!) to see if you want to add any more spices, and doctor the chili accordingly.

Can I substitute dried beans instead of using SUNRIDGE FARMS ORGANIC CHILI COLORADO BLEND?
Thank you..
Yes, definitely! 🙂
Kool thanks... I bought so many dried beans I REALLY need to use them!!
Hi! I made this tonight and I didn’t feel it was clear if we added 4 more cups of water when it says to add the rest of the ingredients because of the way it’s written. I went ahead and added 4 cups of vegetable broth and let it simmer a lot longer and it was still delicious, but was hoping you could clarify that for me. Thank you!
Hi Kathy! Yes, you add four more cups of water later. The initial four cups of water you were supposed to drain out. It's in step 2 - so sorry if that was unclear!!
