Happy belated birthday Sauce!!! Thanks for providing a great vegan chili option.
Every 'best vegan dish for a skeptic' is based on being spicy. Not good when you're cooking for a family with young kids who won't eat spicy food! What non-spicy dish would you cook?

I don't know how some can tolerate so much heat. Just a half of one chipotle in adobo sauce in a recpie about half this size totally burned my mouth. I guess I don't have the tolerance for spice.
Made this yesterday, sooooooo good!! Subbed miso for marmite, veg broth for beer. Excellent flavor, thank you so much.
We recently spent some time in American Airlines lounge and they served a vegan chili made with TVP. My wife, who won't touch tofu, fake meats, etc really liked it. She said it tasted like meat to her. When I was in my 20's, I made chili with TVP a lot for a vegetarian ex. I wish I could remember the recipe I used, but I'm going to try yours.
I finally got around to getting some mushroom seasoning from the Asian market and OMG you were not kidding. It’s AMAZING.
I made an AWESOME chili this week. I split my protien and used TVP and Soy Chorizo.
Ahh yes yes hyper processed food ahh yes yes
How often do you eat meat. I feel like you would need to eat meat often so you can try to make non meat taste like meat.
Red 40 in them bacon bits. 😬
Happy Belated Birthday! 🥳🎉
Made it today. Very good!
Wait does that make your birthday Oct 9th? That's my birthday!
add 2 teaspoons instant coffee _ AMAZING_SECRET_INGREDIENT_ for any chilli 😉
Every recipe you make is amazing and unbelievable according to you.
When did you switch to plant based?
I'm not vegan. But I might be soon because of you. If only the rest of them were as personable and wholesome there wouldn't be so much resistance.
I understand being angry about injustice towards non-human animals but the way you change someone's mind isn't through aggression and making them feel stupid, ie "the stick", it's through offering a favourable alternative, or "the carrot".
Great job with this chili, I'll be making it, since TVP is cheaper than properly raised beef and I'm eager to try something new.
as a meat eater, i'm OFFENDED! I can get past the TVP, and soy baco- bits, and even the BEANS, but BASIL? how dare you, sir.
Making this on 1/13/21 during COVID-19 and turmoil. 😋
Man you know how to deliver! I look forward to making my version of this :)) amazing job brother!!
