This is a wonderful vegetarian recipe from the Cornucopia Restaurant which was in South Bend, IN. It makes a very large pot of chili. Freeze leftovers for a future meal, or cut ingredients in half for a normal pot of chili.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. It's also very easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.

This chili is the best I've ever had! The flavors are so complex and the beef is so tender. I can't wait to make this again for my next party.

This chili was a disappointment. The flavor was just okay and the texture was too watery. I won't be making this again.

This chili is now my go-to recipe. It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I love that it's customizable, so I can adjust the spice level and add my favorite toppings.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

This chili is AMAZING! The perfect balance of spices and the beef is so tender. I served it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced avocado. Will definitely make this again!

Meh, this chili was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the texture was kind of mushy. I probably won't be making this again.

This chili is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing. Perfect for a busy weeknight!

Just made this chili for dinner and it was delicious! I especially liked the combination of spices, which gave it a nice depth of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This chili was a hit at my last potluck! I made a few minor changes, like using ground turkey instead of beef, and adding some chopped poblano peppers. It turned out so flavorful and hearty, and everyone loved it.
