You’ll hardly notice this chili is vegan and gluten free. Warm and spicy, this dish develops a great sauce while cooking and it’s so versatile too. Serve with warm cornbread and a crisp green salad.

Double Duty Recipe: Serve chili with fried eggs, hot sauce, and warm tortillas, or spoon over spaghetti and shower with cheddar cheese for a couple of different meals later in the week.
