Darryl’s Famous Vegetarian Chili

top down photo of Darryl's Famous Vegetarian Chili, topped with shredded cheese and a side of corn chipsWhen I first met my wonderful husband Darryl, he made me his famous vegetarian chili. This stuff is golden. Let me tell you the story about when he first made it for me.

We had been dating only a couple weeks. Darryl made a big, beautiful batch of his chili.

He handed me a bowl and told me not to take too much. “Only take  what you can eat….don’t take too much.” I proceeded to take 2 scoops of chili. He stopped me, warning me that he thought that was “enough” for me. hehehe Who was this fool telling me that I took too much chili! He loved his chili so much, that he didn’t want to see any go to waste.

Well, I finished that bowl of chili and proceeded to marry that wonderful chili-loving vegetarian. No joke…. this chili is super easy and fast to make, healthy and vegetarian! What more can you ask for?

Darryl wanted me to make sure you all know his three requirements when making this.

  1. You must have shredded or cubed cheese to sprinkle on top.
  2. Corn chips are a must (as seen in the picture)
  3. Only scoop out what you can finish… wasting Darryl’s famous chili is not allowed! 🙂

    Thanks! I love how easy it is to make 🙂

  2. I’m always looking for more meatless meals that I will be able to get the kids to eat and this chili looks amazing! Corn chips are a must for my husband as well. He doesn’t even use a spoon, he just scoops up bites one chip at a time.
