Inez, this hit the spot for my craving for a good vegetatian chili! I didn't have any pinto beans so I just used black beans. I did add a little celery since I had some. Delicious! Thanks for sharing.
-
Delicious! I lost my jalapeno somewhere between the store and home, so I didn't add any. This is a great chili recipe. I didn't miss the meat, or fat, at all!
-
Excellent recipe! I didn't change a thing.

What a great meal! This is easy, all in one pot and very nutritious. The only thing I used less of was the chilli powder but that was just a personal taste. All the family enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

This was very good, however next time I will add more beans. Red/Kidney beans would be much better than the pinto beans. It was a little to soupy with just 2 cans of beans. I think corn would be a good addition as well..

Best chili ever!

I kept the amount of chili powder and cumin the same, but used more cilantro and parsley and 24oz cans of beans and a larger jar of sauce.
-
So yummy! I opted for no jalapeño and switched black beans for red kidney beans with the addition of mushrooms. The recipes was really easy and came out fantastic! A must try!

I enjoyed this meatless chili; however my husband hated it, as it was way too tomatoey for him. I cut back a little bit on tomatoes using 1 28 oz. can and 1 14.5 oz. I used tomato paste instead of tomato sauce, an extra can of beans ( 2 kidney and 1 chili beans). Next time I would also add another zuchinni. I also used 4 T. of chili powder instead of 3.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
