This simple vegetarian bulgur chilli is sure to satisfy even the most die-hard meat lovers. It freezes beautifully for up to three months. The jalapeño and cayenne optional in this recipe. Definitely include them if you like a little spice! If you prefer a more mild chilli, leave them out.

The chilli itself is vegan, though it's great topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream.
You can also use any cans of beans that you can get. It doesnt have to be black beans.

Between the bulgar and the beans it will feed many mouths!

Happy eating!!

1) Heat the oil in a large pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
2) Add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños and cook until softened but not brown, about 3 minutes.
4) Add the garlic, chilli powder, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5) Add the bulgur, tomatoes, salt, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
6) Add the black beans and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the bulgur is tender-chewy and the chilli thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes more.
7) Serve with toppings of choice.
