Vegan meals never really appeared much in my diet when I was younger. My mother is an incredible cook. Like no other. (I may be biased). She makes amazing spaghetti bolognese, grilled chops, curries, shepherds/cottage pie, and roast dinners. Oh her roast dinners 😍😍😍
Those meals always contained lots of veggies but were never vegetarian alone – not that I am complaining. Not at all. I only really started to consider vegan and vegetarian meals when I was a student because I had very little money and the money I did have was spent on nights out and alcohol. No regrets 🤷♀️
In the hallowed halls of Raleigh Park, this Vegan Chilli Sin Carne was created. It is super simple to throw together and easy on the pennies – full of tinned beans, peppers, onions, tinned tomatoes and spices. More recently I’ve been adding extra zesty guacamole which balances out the rich, spicy tomato sauce. Vegan chilli is great on top of rice or baked sweet potato, in between tortillas in the form of a quesadilla or smothered on top of nachos. Oh yes,
Vegan Chilli Sin Carne FAQ
Allow the chilli to cool at room temperature for no more than two hours. Transfer the chilli to an air-tight Tupperware container and pop into the fridge. Consume within 3-4 days.
Once cooled, transfer the chilli to a freezer-safe container and pop into the freezer. Use within 6 months.
To defrost the chilli transfer it from the freezer to the fridge and leave it to thaw. This can take up to 24 hours. Alternatively, you can use the defrost setting on your microwave to thaw the chilli.
Transfer the chilli to a saucepan and pop onto the stove to heat. Simmer the chilli on the stove for approximately 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the chilli is hot throughout. You could also use the microwave to reheat the chilli. Place the chilli into a microwave safe container and heat on full power for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through. Ensure the chilli is piping hot all the way through before serving. If it is not, heat for a little longer.
Chilli can be eaten cold, however, be sure it has been stored correctly before doing so.
I have served this recipe with guacamole, but there are a number of other things you could serve to accompany chilli:
🍠 Baked potatoes – regular or the sweet variety.
🌽 Cornbread
🍟 Tortilla chips
🥔 Potato wedges
🧀 Cheese (vegan or regular)
🍚 Rice or other grains
🥛 Sour cream
Why you should make this Vegan Chilli Sin Carne
- It’s cheap! You can buy tins of tomatoes and beans for pennies. Or buy dried beans in bulk and soak them for an even cheaper meal.
- This recipe a fab meal to make in bulk. Freeze extra portions for those nights were the fridge might be looking a little empty…
- It is well balanced. The beans provide a good dose of protein, carbohydrates and fibre while the avocado in the guacamole is full of healthy fats.
- Vegan chilli is filling – that fibre, protein and fat do a great job at keeping you satiated until your next meal. No grumbly tummies!
- And it’s versatile! I have used this vegan chilli for all sorts of things- as a filling in enchiladas, fajitas and quesadillas, as a topping for nachos and jacket potatoes or just as it is, served with rice.

This was so simple to make! As a student I’m always looking for simple and cheap meals to last me throughout the week and this is perfect, I used pinto beans in place of mixed beans and they worked perfectly to thicken the texture. I’m pairing this with quinoa for a hearty Autumn meal that I can simply reheat in the microwave! Delicious!
