Vegetarian Chili

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Lightly spray a large saucepan with cooking spray. Put the oil in the pan, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onions, bell peppers, and garlic over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bell peppers are soft, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

   Step 2

   Stir in the remaining ingredients except the beans. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the bulgur is done.

   Step 3

   Stir in the beans. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
