vegan chili

i've never used smart ground before, but i tried this recipe that calls for it and loved the chili.

1 Large Onion chopped (white or red onion)
1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
1/2 Teaspoon Coriander
1 Teaspoon Dry Oregano
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
3 Minced Garlic Cloves
2 Large Diced Tomatoes (or 1 can diced tomatos)
8 oz Sliced Mushrooms
2 (4oz) canned green chilies
1 bag smart ground (Mexican seasoned)
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 can black or pinto beans (rinsed)
Salt as needed

Chopped Green Onion (on side)
Grated Cheddar (on side)

• Mushrooms should be rough chopped.
• Sauté onions until light brown. Add mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes.
• Add garlic and all seasonings and sauté 4 minutes more.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir until hot and the right consistency. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
