Full of Veggies Chili (vegetarian, or not)

This recipe is from Southern Living.  I have made this with real meat instead of ground beef substitute and it was just as good with the substitute.  No one knew the difference!

1 large sweet onion, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (12-ounce) package ground beef substitute
1 large zucchini, diced
1 (11-ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
2 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added tomato sauce
2 (10-ounce) cans diced tomato and green chiles, undrained 1 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon sugar
1 (1 3/4-ounce) envelope Texas-style chili seasoning mix

Sauté first 3 ingredients in hot oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in beef substitute and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring often, 20 minutes.

NOTE: Chili may be frozen up to 3 months, if desired.

Yield:  Makes 4 quarts
