This vegetarian chili is zesty, but it also offers a slight hint of sweetness. Because it doesn't have to simmer for hours like other chili recipes, it's ideal for serving to drop-in visitors. -Jeraldine Hall of Ravenden Springs, Arkansas

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

Not a fan of this chili. The bulgur was mushy and the flavors were just bland. I won't be making this again.

This chili was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the bulgur didn't really add anything to the dish. I think I'll stick to my regular chili recipe next time.

I'm not usually a fan of bulgur, but this recipe changed my mind. The bulgur added a nice nutty flavor to the chili and made it really hearty. I also loved the addition of the corn and black beans, which gave it a nice pop of texture and flavor.
