Vegetarian Chili Even Good For Meat Lovers Recipes

THE BEST VEGETARIAN CHILI (EVEN A MEAT LOVER WILL ENJOY)

This recipe is healthy,low fat, cheap and amazingly delicious. I'm not a vegetarian and did not miss the meat at all. In fact I would rather eat this. I came up with this one day on my own when I was in the mood for chili but did not have any chop meat. I also would have added a can of corn had I had it on hand.

MEAT-LOVERS' VEGETARIAN CHILI

This is a thick, hearty vegetarian chili that is a hit at parties even among die-hard meat eaters. The TVP gives it the texture of ground beef, and the chiles give it a nice depth of flavor. Cook it in the slow cooker or on the stovetop. This recipe really benefits from using the best quality ingredients you can find. Also, I find this tastes best after sitting in the fridge overnight and reheating the next day. Serve with grated cheese on top.
