Get-Up-N-Go Chili (Vegan)

Recipe #284076 | ½ day | 30 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: MN_SpiceHunter

I make this when I'm feeling run down--it's chock-full of potassium, vitamin C and protein. Increasing or decreasing the spice level is easy--use a hotter or milder chili powder, more or less jalapeno, different varietals of bell pepper. Freezes well.

    Used 1/2 jalepeno, no lentils on hand so used 1/2cup brown rice, reduced amount of chili pepper used to 2 teaspoons...overflowing maple syrup tablespoon but it was still a little too spicy. Will make again but tone it down some more. Forgot the TVP but it was fine without it.
