Taco chicken soup

 Nice!

Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breasts chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 bell peppers, seeded and chopped
• 1 red onion, peeled and chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 15 ounces black beans (drained)
• 15 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 fajita seasoning packet or taco seasoning 
• 1 and 1/2 cups cooked rice— optional— however much you want

I used an orange bell pepper as I was out. I also added a small summer squash.

Sauté the onions, peppers, and garlic about 5 minutes. Add all but the cooked rice. Cook everything about 20 minutes or until all is tender. Add rice at end. Note: I added the summer squash during the last ten minutes chopping really small.

Meatloaf/ vegetarian using impossible beef

 

This was nice especially because it is a change from using beans in a “ meatloaf “

I basically used the recipe found here: https://tyberrymuch.com/the-best-vegan-meatloaf-with-beyond-meat/

I did sub prepared bq sauce, omitted the egg and the bread crumbs, but did use the oats. Used one large onion instead of 2 medium. Also didn’t have parsley—had a red bell instead of green bell pepper— came out great.

Go to link for directions, but here are the ingredients listed. 

I only used 1 , 12 ounce package of impossible beef and didn’t realize it also called for a package of vegan sausage or another of the vegan beef!!!!!!!!  I also cooked mine less- did the 45 minute covered and then about 25 uncovered at the 375F temperature— maybe a tad more?
