This homemade vegetarian and vegan black bean chili recipe uses precooked black beans and tomato sauce from a can. Add some leftover rice, leftover quinoa, or whip up some instant rice and a green salad to make it a complete meal.

The recipe calls for everything to be simmered together for 20 minutes. If you're short on time, you can even skimp a bit—if you have more time, though, give it a few more minutes to allow all the flavors to more fully develop.

1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, undrained
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Sauté onions and garlic in oil until onions turn clear, about 5 minutes.
Carefully add in the tomato sauce and black beans and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cumin, cayenne pepper, and chili powder, then stir to combine well.
Cover and allow to simmer at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season well with salt and pepper.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Enjoy your homemade vegetarian black bean chili!
