It seems that chili has been on the menu for a few players, so I thought I would share the recipe I use.
As a disclaimer, I used to hate chili. It's too spicy and meat-y, and bean-y. Then my sister made me this recipe. And it changed everything. Since it's not her recipe to share, I wasn't really comfortable posting it...until I scrounged the internet (that's right, the whole thing) to find the recipe so I can share it.
And yes, it's still bean-y. But it's more sweet than spicy, and it's vegan. Woot woot!
I refer to this as the chili that changed everything. Ok, maybe I'm being a titch dramatic. For meat lovers out there, my husband adds beef to his and cuts down on the beans a bit.
