This dish has become a staple in my home. It's yummy!
This was delicious!
I adore this recipe. It can be altered and adapted easily depending on taste or mood. I think the chipotle chili is a key ingredient though. super yummy and one of my favorites.
This is a wonderfully rich and flavorful chili that satisfies both veggies and meat eaters alike. I like to stir in some "Morningstar Crumbles" for added texture and protein when I sautee the onions and garlic. My husband also likes a little extra heat so I stir in some red pepper flakes to meet his taste. This is a simple, quick and delicious comfort food that is not only healthy but very satisfying as well, and perfect for autumn and winter!!
This vegetarian chili was hearty and delicious. I added a red pepper for a hint of extra sweetness. It makes 6 very generous servings (really more like 8).
