Most Delicious Easy Vegetarian Chilli
Hi,
Trying to eat less meat.
So I substitued
1 Tempeh bar from health food store.
and
2 bars of Firm Tofu for meat.(Tofu can be frozen for added texture but not nessassy)
McCormick Chili Spice Mix
black beans canned
crushed tomato canned
frozen corn
Left over salsa
What ever else you would put in Chili like onions or peppers.
I made seasoned rice to go with. Delicios and so satisfying. You don't miss the meat at all.

Wow! that look even better!
My oldest dd has decided to become a vegetarian so I usually make a big pot of this every other week or so for her to have if she doesn't want what we are having for dinner.
I went to the health food store and bought textured soy protein (TSP, also called textured vegetable protein or TVP)
It was the bulk food was sold in the bins like the rice or nuts or cereal.
It is dry and you soak for 15 minutes or just put in chilli.
It is in granules or chucks. It is so so so cheap. People use it as a meat substitute. The granules are used like chop meat for meatloaf or lasanga.
I think I will try to use it instead of beef in beef stew.
I was talking to someone about being a vegetarian and he was talking about he felt so at peace with the world. I read the Peta literature and I am disturbed about what I saw.
