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.

INSANELY EASY VEGETARIAN CHILI
This chili is SO easy to make. You can pretty much throw whatever you have into the pot and it'll be great. (I added some leftover salsa once.) It's very colorful, not to mention delicious.

KREE'S SWEET AND "MEATY" VEGETARIAN CHILI
A few years ago, I had the best chili I ever tasted at Earle Estates Meadery on Seneca Lake. I knew they had made it with honey, so I decided to experiment and see what I could come up with. I think this is just as fabulous, and it's so quick and easy. I bet even meat eaters would have trouble figuring out that it's made with TVP instead of beef. It's a very mild chili, so add some heat if that's the way you like it.

Steps:
- Combine the TVP, lukewarm water, and chili powder; allow to sit for about 10 minutes to rehydrate.
- Rinse the beans thoroughly to cut down on the sodium content.
- Combine the rehydrated TVP, beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon, and honey in a large pot; turn heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
- You may need to add some broth if it gets too thick.
- Taste the chili and add more honey or spices as desired.
- Simmer an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it's nice and warm; the time is pretty flexible since you're just heating everything up.
- This is great served over a baked potato and sprinkled with shredded cheddar soy cheese!
- You can also serve it on rice or toast, or however you prefer.

SWEET AND SPICY VEGETARIAN CHILI
"Many chili recipes contain brown or white sugar. In this recipe, more nutritious barley malt adds a smoky, beerlike sweetness that contrasts deliciously with the spices and green chiles." - Recipe from "Delicious Living" magazine, February 2004.

Tips:
- To make the chili more flavorful, use a variety of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. You can also add vegetables such as corn, bell peppers, and carrots.
- If you want a spicier chili, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add a diced jalapeño pepper for an extra kick.
- To make the chili thicker, add a cornstarch slurry. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the chili and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the chili has thickened.
- If you want a sweeter chili, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey. You can also add a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
- To make the chili more smoky, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a chipotle pepper.
