Meat-Lovers' Vegetarian Chili
2
J. Phillips
"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."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Use your favorite beer!
- For low-moderate spice, start with 1/2 to 1 jalapeno, but 2 or 3 (or more!) may be needed if you like it hot. I'd recommend starting on the low side and checking the spice level after 3 to 4 hours of cooking, adding more jalapeno as needed.
- The longer this chili cooks, the better. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a large pot and simmer on the stove over low heat for 4 to 6 hours.

Delicious! We used 2 cups of Gardien beef less ground for the TVP. Also, because people in the house like to decrease the hot spice, we only used one orange pepper rather than the peppers recomm...

This is amazing vegetarian chili, with great depth of flavor. I am not usually a vegetarian chili fan and have tried numerous recipes in the past. This is BY FAR the best!

Family of vegetarians loved it! Didn't use Worcestershire sauce - not vegetarian. Didn't use (didn't have) nutritional yeast and liquid smoke. Thanks - this is a keeper!
