My family was looking for a meatless chili and love this recipe. I sauted minced garlic with the peppers instead of using the garlic powder, just because that is what we had. This is a quick meal that everyone enjoys.

Just loved this! So easy! A wonderful dish to have available for a quick, healthy lunch. I used fresh salsa, 1 can Rotel and 1 can diced tomatoes and was very happy with the spiciness. I usually have all these ingredients on hand and will definitely be making this again! Thanks, Patricia!
