NIF'S CHILI TO TAKE THE CHILL OFF (VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN)



Nif's Chili to Take the Chill off (Vegetarian or Vegan) image

I'm pleased to say that this recipe won first place in the Dining On A Dollar competition! ------ A nice warm dish for a cool night, just add one a crusty roll to complete your meal. Or you can have a chili bar - offer the optional toppings so each person can make their own the way they want it. The long list of ingredients is misleading because you will have most ingredients on hand.
