You will be surprised how good this rather simple vegan chili is! Meat-eating chili lovers will love this! This makes a unique and delicious chili, that is sweet yet good and spicy, and has a complex taste! It is not soupy, but rather, pasty. Very easy to make. Enjoy!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was a hit at my house. I have tried several chili recipes and this was the first that had my kids raving about the deliciousness factor.
Having said that, I will make a couple of changes next time...I found it to be a little too sweet... I put in the full amount of sweetener and I think it was just too much. Also, I will only use a small splash of vinegar next time, not the entire 1/4 cup. Overall, I like this recipe. I will definitely make it again since it is so simple and easy to add or subtract ingredients as needed.
Great! I used a jalapeno pepper, and it was just SOoooo tasty!
yummy - i used this with white beans in tomato sauce and i also added a package of Quorn (the stuff that looks like ground beef) and i served it in bread bowls - very tasty - i would make again :-)
AHHh!! The perfect chili!! The taste was awesome. So many chilis I've tried have been bitter or bland, but not this one!! It did come a little soupy for me (I like a very dry, pasty chili) so I'll have to play with that a bit...but this is THE chili!
I enjoyed this recipe. The chili was very tasty and easy to prepare - although too tangy to my tastes. I would go easy on the vinegar and/or banana peppers next time I make it - but I will make again. :)
