Hi! How are all of you? I hope you are all well. Before eating plant-based I was never much of a chili lover. I think because most recipes called for ground beef and I was never a big fan of ground beef.
Since we started eating plant-based meals, chili is one of the foods I prepare several times a month. It makes a large quantity, is very filling, and you can change it up with different ingredients. It’s also great for leftovers and freezes well. I even made chili in the Instant Pot while we were camping.
Here are some of my favorite chili recipes:

The following recipe I made last week for the first time for company and it was a big hit. For those who aren’t plant-based they enjoyed it as well.

How do you like to serve your chili? I usually make a vegan corn bread to have with it as well as chopped red onions, diced avocado, sliced olives, and sometimes plant-based cheese. I like to use the cheese I make since it doesn’t have any oil added to it.

We also like to have the chili over a baked potato or a smashed pan fried potato. In the above recipes I did not use oil when it called for it.
How do you like to eat your chili?

Did you know?
That you can grind nutritional yeast a little finer and it taste great sprinkled on chili, pasta, baked potato, or even soup. We were at a restaurant where that was one of the condiments at the table.
