This was better than I expected! I left out the bell pepper mushrooms and red wine because I didn't have them on hand. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly including the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce which I was skeptical about. In the end I'd say to be sure to include these two items and they added a flavor element that "brightened" the rest of the dish. We loved it! I know it will freeze well so this one will be a staple in our packed lunches. Read More

When I make chili I make a huge pot so I can freeze some. So I tripled the recipe and used three different kinds of beans. I drained them because I don't like the sliminess of the juice. I added some canned vegetable broth to make up for it. I also didn't use fresh tomatoes because winter tomatoes lack flavor so I used diced canned tomatoes and their juice. My kids won't eat mushrooms so I left them out but I bet it would be great them. I added corn chipotle and cilantro. Read More

A great veggie chili recipe- loved having such a variety of stuff in- beans pepper mushrooms. But this was also a downfall at least for me because I didn't have any celery or bulgar- turned out great anyways with great flavour! Read More

Yummy was great and my family didn't even realize how healthy it was. I omitted the carrots (as I don't believe they belong in chili). I also added more beans (an extra can of kidney and two cans of pinto). I didn't have bulgar wheat so I left that out. I used tomato sauce instead of tomato juice. This was not hot at all which was a plus since my toddler had to have some. Very good receipe thanks you. Read More

I made this recipe for a church supper and three different people wanted the recipe! For added protein I added a tin of chick peas (garbanzo beans). It was appropriately hot as well. Read More
