Three-Bean Veggie Chili image

I adapted a recipe that my sister gave me to suit my family's tastes. The bulgur has a nice texture, making it a great substitute for meat. Because I find that this chili is even better the next day, I recommend making it a day ahead. -Tari Ambler, Shorewood, Illinois
