    If you added vegitarian refried beans instead of one of the cans of kidney beans it gives the chili a meat consistency.Great recipe. - 1/22/09

    This is a great recipe. I added some MorningStar 'ground beef' Crumbles to fool my 'meat-a-tarian' husband. Totally worked. He loved it. - 2/4/09

    Cut down significantly on sodium by boiling dried beans instead of using cans. (Takes longer though!) - 6/30/09

    If you serve this with some rice, rice pasta or corn..you will have complete amino acids as in meat. Corn bread would be a good idea. - 11/29/09

    I cut this recipe in half, added tofu and cilantro, upped the spices slightly, and it's great! Half the recipe is plenty! Really easy to make. - 1/9/08
