1/4 of a huge onion
1 Can petite diced tomatoes (juice included)
1 Can of black beans (juice included)
Bag of frozen mixed vegetables
Short Grain Brown Rice (use whatever kind of rice is easier, I use my rice cooker)
1-2 cups of water
1 tsp brown rice flour
1 tsp of Tony Chachere
Start your rice, then start your patties and onions in the skillet on medium to medium high (I add a little salt to taste at this time). Pour your veggies in a pyrex with the lid on and stick in the microwave 2 minutes at a time until warm. Flip your patties over then cook a little bit until you can easily break them up from the patties, grind them up with a spatula in the smallish chunks. Drain the onion meat mixture. Put aside. Throw your tomatoes and black beans in a good size pot, and a cup or two of water. Bring to a bowl, then throw in the meat, the rice and veggies, and cook at a pretty good boil. Then add your flour and Tony's. Stir continuously while it boils for about 5 minutes, then bring it to a simmer and let it cook for however long you want it to or till you are ready for it. It is basically cooked so you are just getting all the juices and seasoning well mixed. There you go, all done! Last minute Chili, from stuff you probably already have in your freezer and pantry.
