Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the directions should read 1 1/2 cups of rehydrated TVP, not 1 1/2 cups TVP rehydrated. I only add a portion of the TVP stated as the chili looked entirely too thick more like a casserole than a chili. The result was also a little bland so I added some extra chili powder and 1 tsp of cumin. Though the final dish was fine, no one was fooled. will continue to experiment with this recipe as it has great possibilities.

This was THE BEST chili I have ever made and/or eaten! This was the first vegetarian chili I have tried and I certainly could not taste a difference without the real beef. The only adaptations I made is that I substituted the celery for one chopped green bell pepper because I don't really care for cooked celery. And what did I get? The best chili ever!!!! Definitely will make this again and again.

My whole family loved this recipe which happens to include two very serious carnivores. Plus it's easy to make. We added 1/2 tsp cumin and oregano for some extra spice.

Excellent vegetarian chilli that everyone enjoyed. I did cut down the chili powder to a heaped tsp for a mild chilli as my toddler was eating this. Went down an absolute treat.
