I just tried making my chili with potatoes in it., and I loved it! It gave me the hearty chili I have been looking for without having to put meat in it. Since I like it so much I will try freezing it., which is something I really never thought of either. Great tips!

I have a recipe for vegetarian chili that calls for a tablespoon of cocoa. It doesn’t taste like chocolate, just enhances the flavor much as cinnamon or brown sugar would. Very tasty!

Oh yeh, I forgot! Try a tablespoon of brown sugar or balsamic vinegar in the pot! Both enhance the flavor unbelievably!

Where I live buffalo meat is readily available. This is a very lean, healthy, almost no cholesterol meat and ground buffalo makes a great chili! The buffalo herds in the state parks must be culled every year and part of this meat comes form the culling. It is also farm-raised as is beefalo, a beef/buffalo hybird that is healthier than beef but not as healthy as buffalo. I also mix it half and haf osmetimes with ground turkey or chicken if my pennies are low or the store is out. Try it for as a substitute for any ground beef recipe and serve the chili with Honey Jalapeno Corn Muffins – delicious!

I made a pot of vegetarian chili yesterday — no meat at all, three types of beans and then some corn for color/texture. It was really filling. To add more substance, I cooked up a little couscous and mixed that in. De-lish. And now I’ve got lunch for a few days.

I love to make large batches of chili and freeze some. Nothing is better than coming home from work and having the slow cooked flavor of delicious chili in minutes. Less dishes, and more time with family.

I just kind of thought up my recipe for ground turkey or grnd. chicken chili as I went along. I try to keep the sodium content down so used lowest sod. canned, diced tomatoes I could find that were either Italian or Mexican style and put the liquid in also plus no salt added tomator sauce (4-6 oz.)and of course the fried in olive oil (first) onion, green pepper chopped, and garlic and added canned rinsed and drained pinto bean with lowest salt content. I add no other salt as not needed. I used Mexican seasoning (no salt) and a variety of other dried herbs all with no salt and plenty of black pepper. It was very good. Even tastes better the second day.
