Gluten-Free Vegetarian Chili (aka That Chili with the Mushrooms)

My husband is most content as a carnivore, so when I made this gluten-free Vegetarian Chili for us the first time, I simply said it was a new chili recipe that I wanted to try. Then I added that the recipe included a lot of mushrooms, which he absolutely loves!

Gluten-Free Vegetarian Chili Gluten Free Easily

I used portabella mushrooms, which always add that nice “meaty” flavor. He ended up giving the new Vegetarian Chili recipe high ratings, and so did I.

Now when I make this recipe, I just say I’m making “That Chili with the Mushrooms.” Oh, I did eventually tell him that it was a vegetarian recipe, but he didn’t care because it’s really good chili.

This gluten-free Vegetarian Chili is packed full of nutritious ingredients! It’s also extremely flavorful, and while it’s filling, it’s not “heavy” as meat-based chili recipes often are.

I found the original recipe when I was looking for a vegetarian chili recipe online that didn’t contain gluten to make for a friend. A lot of main dishes that are vegetarian contain gluten and I don’t cook with gluten (even for someone else—it’s just not safe).

I was pleased when I found a “starting point” recipe on allrecipes.com because the vegetarian recipe had many reviews, all of which were excellent. Just like those of us who are gluten free, vegetarians sometimes have to settle for salads or mediocre vegetable side dishes for their meals, but with this gluten-free vegetarian chili my friend didn’t have to “settle” at all.

She loved this chili and I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it as well. So much so, that it’s now on the regular menu “rotation” at our house. I’ve come to actually prefer this recipe to my meat-based chili.

I made it on a recent Sunday, with plans to feed both of us and then have plenty left for our support group meeting on Tuesday.

Vegetarian Gluten-Free Chili. That Chili with the Mushrooms.

 

The recipe below perfectly fills a 4-qt crockpot. However, when I was ready  to serve this gluten-free vegetarian chili to our support group (they’ve also become big fans!), I wanted to balance out the flavor from the fresh tomatoes (a little too many as it turned out) and re-fill my 6-qt Rival Smart-Pot.

So, I added another can of kidney beans, another can of chickpeas, and another half jar of salsa to start. I wanted to add another can of black beans, but since I had already used my last can, I decided to added a can of black-eyed peas. So “that chili with the mushrooms” take two is shown below.

The results were just as delicious as ever, so obviously this recipe is the best kind—adaptable to what you have on hand, naturally gluten free, and easy to make … so gluten free easily—gfe!

By the way, I’m not always one to eat chili year-round, but this recipe is an exception. 😉

My flat and firm cornbread was the perfect complement to this chili. Because we have some support group members who are gluten free and dairy free, I made two versions—one with milk and butter for those who eat dairy and another using olive oil and rice milk for those who don’t. (See olive oil for butter substitution guide.)

The latter version was a little crumbly, but still had the same great flavor. Next time I make the dairy-free version, I am going to decrease the amount of rice milk slightly and add a little xanthan gum.

Gluten-Free Vegetarian Chili ("That Chili with the Mushrooms")

Gluten-Free Vegetarian Chili Gluten Free Easily

Don't bother telling the meat eaters that there's no meat in this gluten-free vegetarian chili, because they will love this chili and won't miss the meat one bit!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 7 hours
Inactive Time 7 hours
Total Time 14 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 3/4 cup chopped carrots (optional, I don't add carrots most of the time)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 3/4 cup chopped celery (optional, I add when I have celery on hand)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms (I used portabella)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with liquid, chopped (I used a combination of fresh tomatoes and canned diced petite tomatoes)
  • 1 jar salsa (about 16 ounces, but I've made it with less, or you can sub 1 tbsp tomato paste and do not drain/rinse kidney beans and add additional chili powder to taste)
  • 2 (19 ounce) can kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed, or equivalent amount of frozen corn (I used Bird’s Eye frozen baby gold and white corn, which is excellent)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions, carrots (optional), and garlic until tender. Stir in green pepper, red pepper, celery (optional), and chili powder. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes.
  2. Stir in mushrooms, and cook 4 more minutes. Transfer ingredients to your crockpot. Stir in tomatoes, kidney beans, chick peas, black beans, and corn. Season with cumin, oregano, and basil.
  3. Cook for 7 to 8 hours on low. (You can reduce the overall cooking time by cooking on high for an hour or two and then cooking on low the remainder of the time. Usually one hour on high equals about two hours on low.)

Notes

Shirley’s Notes: Although I like carrots and celery, the first time I made this recipe I didn’t have any on hand and the chili was still wonderful, so you can consider those as optional as shown.

This recipe is very flexible. Use what you have on hand, follow your personal preferences on ingredients, double the amounts if needed, etc.

I generally prepare everything and place it in the crockpot the night before, so I don’t have to rush in the morning and so it is not overcooked by the time I get home from work.

My 4-qt crockpot does not have an automatic shutoff. The cold ingredients guarantee a slightly slower start.

I generally follow this approach even with my crockpot that switches from cooking to warming just so I’ll have the ingredients ready to go in the morning. (I don't believe this approach is recommended by slow cooker manufacturers, but it has worked for me.)

I’ve also cooked this recipe and other crockpot recipes overnight before.

    Oh my!! This sounds fantastic! I do make chili, as I cannot eat beans, YET. But my doc has just ok-ed that I try to introduce them little by little. So this is going on my “To Make” list!!
    Chili is such a comfort food too. Thanks 🙂

    Hi, CoconutGal! Introducing beans slowly will greatly expand your menu options. 🙂 Let us know what you think after you make it … even if it’s a bit down the road. Now the fact that I am still up while you are posting from Australia means I am up way too late. Must. Go. To. Bed. LOL Thanks so much for stopping by GFE and making such a nice comment!

    Shirley,

    This looks awesome and although I make chili quite often, I’ve never added mushrooms. Hmmm? I’m not sure why, maybe because I always put green chile in my chili (all these chili, chile, chilly words get confusing). Do green chiles and mushrooms go together? It doesn’t seem like they would, but who knows.

    Mushrooms are such a good way to add a “meaty” taste and feel to soups and stews. Good idea! Plus, they’re healthy and pack some nutritional punch to the dish. And I agree with coconutgal, chili is pure comfort food.

    Yum, and thanks for the mushroom idea. Wonder why that never entered my mind before? I guess that’s what blogger friends are for!

    🙂

    Shirley, this recipe sounds great. We love chili and cornbread, just had it on Sunday. I use different cornbread recipes but this time used one that does not call for flour. It was rustic and delicious.
    I want to try your recipe next time we have it, though I’ll have to finely mince the mushrooms because *some people* think they don’t care for them. I added finely minced ones to a beef barley soup recently (making a small bit of meat go a long way) and it added an earthy richness that we all enjoyed.
    They’re not usually fussy so I’ll give them this one and hide the ‘shrooms. Really looking forward to trying it. I also want to try adding sliced pimento-stuffed olives like a former coworker used to do. I’ll try it without first, though. Thanks for another one that promises to be a winner.

    Shirley the chili looks great! Just made some chili last week for my family and they love it. I really like it with corn bread too. Now the thing I have to do is run my immersion blender through it to “diguise” the veggies. If the little ones see them, they will not eat it. So mine is smooth! He he, they will never know!

    Melissa–Well, I didn’t know the answer to whether or not green chiles and mushrooms went together (I never cook with green chiles–another food I need to conquer … don’t laugh!). But, I just searched for recipes with green chiles and mushrooms and found quite a few and they all sounded awesome frankly!

    Okay, re: the mushrooms, I NEVER used to eat mushrooms. (Remember I’ve shared that I didn’t eat a lot of foods growing up. I was PICKY and I got away with it!) I’ve been eating mushrooms a little bit more the last few years, but this recipe has turned me into a mushroom lover. They just taste fabulous in this chili! Their flavor is so good and they just go so well with all the vegetables. I agree chili is comfort food, but sometimes my traditional chili doesn’t make me feel so comfortable after eating it. On the other hand, this recipe is comfort food with a great sense of satisfaction AND comfort after eating it … if that makes sense.

    Therese–Thanks! Chili with cornbread is a hard combination to beat I think. Bet yours was terrific. I could have eaten it–naturally GF! 🙂 My cornbread is a “rustic” version with no flour as well. I also make corn muffins from time to time and I have another recipe for cheese muffins, which are fantastic with chili. And, speaking of cheese, with traditional chili, I always want shredded cheese on top, with this chili, it’s just not needed. I tried it the first time I made this and it actually took away from the flavor.

    Nothing wrong with some diced mushroom. They will give it the same terrific taste, but for mushroom lovers (and that includes me, with this recipe) nice big chunks are wonderful.

    Let us know about the pimento-stuffed olives. More colors and flavors … yum.

Not to mention making us “big kids” happy, too … that recent grape salad was such a lovely recipe.

    For me…..I need meat in my Chili. To start with, I prefer Goulash over Chili, but I do like a good hearty Chili.
    I can see though that a veggie/mushroom based Chili could be tasty and for sure healthier than my carnivorial intake ( I think I made that word up)

    Corn bread. Now THAT’S more like it. If there are any leftovers, I eat it with Honey for breakfast.
    Your flat style would be great for that! More space for the honey.

    H.Peter–Don’t be so sure … I would have said the same thing before I tried this meatless chili. 🙂 “Carnivorial intake” … I like it. LOL I am a pretty impressive carnivore myself, but this recipe will surprise you. The fact that my hubby likes it A LOT is saying A LOT!

    Funny you should mention honey and cornbread, I am going to try a sage and honey cornbread recipe soon. No sugar required in the recipe, just honey. We love anything with honey since our bees work so hard to make it for us. Delish.

    noble pig–Cathy, sometimes I think the transitional times of the year (summer to fall, fall to winter, winter to spring) are the coldest. It’s not cold enough to have full heat going, but it’s not warm enough to be comfortable without it. I’m sitting here in one of my warmest turtlenecks, but I’ll be darned if I’ll fool with starting a fire tonight. LOL Chili is great, when it’s chilly, isn’t it? 😉 I, too, love the colors. I can never stop looking at this chili or marveling over the flavors when I make it.

He’ll say something is good or really good and rate it a 7 or an 8. Although he did rate something a 9 last week. Now I can’t remember what it was. I’ll have to remember and post it here. Hope you and your family enjoy the recipe! Let us know if you like it. 🙂

    Heather–Thanks! That mug is a good 30 years old, bought at a pottery when I was single. It “called my name” and still is one of my favorite ones to use for chili or soup. 🙂

    I’m so sorry about that allergy. I wonder if you could just skip the chili powder and use an alternative spice … maybe more cumin. I just found this homemade recipe (below) for chili powder. I guess cayenne pepper is out, too, though. Hmmm, we should be able to figure out a solution somehow …

    1 teaspoon paprika
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 teaspoon oregano
    2 teaspoons garlic powder

    Mix. Store in airtight container. Measure out desired amount.

When I eat potatoes (other than sweet potatoes, which are not nightshades) too often, I do get some joint pain. Hopefully, you’ll get to slowly re-introduce some of your favorites soon! I look forward to hearing about your success and new dining adventures. 🙂

    Wow, I have the same problem with nightshades once in a while. I guess it’s our body reminding us not to get stuck on one food. I really try to stick to the 4 day rotation diet. I have found that works the best and I have fewer instances of irritations. Bravo to everyone paying attention to what their bodies are telling us!!!!

    Diane–Good for you re: following a rotation diet! There is a lot of data that shows they make the most sense. If you want to develop a food intolerance, eating it every day certainly can make that more likely to happen … particularly for those of us with food issues/”leaky gut.” I don’t think we can really hear what our bodies are saying unless we remove some of the major offenders like gluten and dairy, but once those are gone it’s so much easier to recognize its “nagging.” Otherwise, it’s “whining,” and sometimes “screaming” on a constant level. Plus, isn’t it more appealing to mix it up with our diets anyway? 🙂

    Thanks!

    Hello There Shirley,

    Our tradition is Chili on Christmas Eve. I tried your chili this year and LOVED it. I Just had to share it this month on my round-up. I would have never thought about adding mushrooms, and it did give the dish a nice meaty texture. Just great. Thank you for the continued inspiration.

    Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

    Hugs and Well Wishes,

      Hi Lisa–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 This is definitely a recipe that’s loved by my family and my support group. 🙂 I usually use a standard-sized jar, which I believe is 16 ounces. But if your jar is slightly larger or smaller, it shouldn’t make a big difference. Sometimes I’ll use what I have on hand and that might be slightly less than a full jar or a full jar plus a little bit left in an open jar. It’s a pretty flexible recipe in that regard. 😉 I hope you enjoy it!

    Thanks for the quick reply! I will be making this recipe for my mother in law (gf) and myself (veg). I am so excited! Another couple questions (sorry…but I’m not the greatest cook in the world). When I use the mushrooms, do I cut off stems or do anything else? And if I cut up the vegs extra tiny to hide them from the kids, do I measure them after they are chopped regular sized or after they are chopped extra tiny? These might be really silly, but I honestly just don’t know. Thank so much!! 😀

      Hi again Lisa–No worries on the questions, dear. 😉 I just wash my mushrooms and cut them into bite-sized pieces. With your “anti-veggie” kiddos, you can cut them a bit smaller if you wish, but I wouldn’t cut them too small. You don’t want the mushrooms to become too mushy. The chunks give that nice “meaty” mouth feel. With the other veggies, cutting extra tiny will work. I’d probably measure after cutting them, but again this is a flexible recipe, so it’s not going to make a huge difference either way you do it. Anyway, after making this recipe one time, you’ll be a pro. 🙂

    Shirley, I LOVE this recipe! I made it last night (picture on Facebook) since it was so cold and I wanted to try a different chilli from my own!

    Since we didn’t have mushrooms, I tried butternut squash instead which was left over from the BBQ the day before. It tasted gorgeous. A couple of other modifications due to a lack if ingredients didn’t divert from the original recipe!

    Awesome… If anyone’s reading this – I highly recommend you make it!

      Lynn–It’s the standard size that’s offered up in the stores by the chips. I think it’s about 16 ounces. 🙂 I’ve gotten away with using slightly less when I was running low though. 😉 Hope you enjoy this chili!
