THE BEST VEGETARIAN CHILI (EVEN A MEAT LOVER WILL ENJOY)
This recipe is healthy,low fat, cheap and amazingly delicious. I'm not a vegetarian and did not miss the meat at all. In fact I would rather eat this. I came up with this one day on my own when I was in the mood for chili but did not have any chop meat. I also would have added a can of corn had I had it on hand.
