Easily turned vegan dish
One of my favorite ways to cook is using classical favorite dishes and making them vegan. This chili dish is the perfect example of how to easy do so, but just removing the meat. It is still incredibly hearty and filling and loaded with health benefits. If you're like me and not a huge bean person, this is the perfect way to get your fix in. Feel free to spice it up with your favorite hot sauce on top!
