Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen burger-style crumbles

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup tomato sauce

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice

  • 8 ounces spaghetti

  • 1 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Sauté onion until tender. Mix in burger-style crumbles and garlic; cook until crumbles have browned.

  2. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, vinegar, chili powder, brown sugar, cocoa, hot pepper sauce, cinnamon, paprika, and allspice. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. While the sauce is thickening, bring a large pot of salted water to boil; place spaghetti in the water and bring it to a boil again. Cook until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain well.

  4. Stir beans into chili and mix lightly.

  5. Spoon cooked spaghetti into bowls and top with chili. Sprinkle with cheese.
