Hearty Vegetarian Chili
Tired of all the vegetarian chili recipes saying things like 'light, low fat, and colorful?' That's not what chili is about; It's about comfort food and having something warm to eat with your freshly baked cornbread on a cold day. This chili is spicy, 'meaty' and delicious. Serve it to your non-vegetarian friends, and they'll think you started eating meat again.

- Even though I am a meat eater I do sometimes make a 3 bean chilli as something a bit different, although it is not as elaborate as this. I can't wait to try out this recipe next time I am thinking of having a vegetarian chilli.
