MEATLESS CHILI



Meatless Chili image

My family loves this meal, and my husband didn't even realize the meat was 'missing' until after dinner that night when I mentioned it. I made it for my husband and I along with 3 other guys at hunting camp, and every last drop was gone! This recipe is modified (to make it meatless) from one found in Fix-It & Forget-It. Best of all, when I priced it out late 2006, it only cost $3.50 for the entire batch! If you are out all day, make it in the crock pot. Otherwise, if you forgot or need a *slightly* faster meal, let it simmer on the stove in a dutch oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

HEARTY MEATLESS CHILI



Hearty Meatless Chili image

A thick rich chili, where you won't miss the meat at all. I make double batches and freeze it for quick meals during the winter. The combination of veggies makes this taste so good. I usually puree all the veggies together to make a rich broth and and sneak the veggies in for unsuspecting kids. Try it. You'll like it. And it's easy on the budget.
