Saut onions and crumble

Start by heating some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens and becomes fragrant—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, toss in the burger crumbles along with the browning sauce, stirring everything together so the onions and crumbles get nicely coated. Pour in the stewed tomatoes, vegetable broth, chili beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chipotle chili, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir, then bring the mixture up to a gentle boil. Once bubbling, lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes break down and the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and enjoy the cozy aroma filling your kitchen!
