COOKING LIGHT VEG CHILI

Yes, I am adding YET ANOTHER veg chili to this site! I can't help myself; this recipe has become our favorite go-to chili recipe, and it has a few touches that make it stand out from the rest IMHO. If your family would prefer meat in their chili, I have had success subbing 1/2 lb ground meat in for one of the cans of beans. But do try it veg...you'll be amazed at how hearty and filling it is! Feel free to sub the bean types for what you have on hand--I always do! As the title suggests, this is from Cooking Light, September 2008.

VEGETARIAN CHILI

I have shared this award-winning recipe with many die-hard chili fanatics over the past 15 years, and thought I should post it since it is so popular. I adapted it from a Cooking Light recipe from 1991. I serve this with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and Keebler Townhouse Bistro Cornbread crackers.
