Directions
Place the tomato sauce, tomatoes, jalapeГ±os, chili powder, and cumin in a large pot. Stir over low heat. Once mixture is heated, stir in the garlic and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
Add carrots and continue to cook over low heat. Meanwhile, over medium heat, cook onions, peppers, and mushrooms for 3 to 5 minutes in a large pan with just ВЅ cup of water (and some salt, if desired). The onions and peppers should still be a little crunchy. Using a slotted spoon to drain any excess water, add the veggies to the pot.
Add beans, corn, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Mix well. Everything should now be in the pot.
Cook over low heat for about 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes or so. Chili is done when carrots have lost their crunch.
