Using re-fried beans to thicken it up is a great trick. It was delicious and filling, even alone (without any rice or sides or anything). Plus there are plenty of leftovers for the rest of the week.
Great chili!

This chili, although not sooo different from other veggie chilis I've made, is somehow much more delicious! I used a nut-brown ale (because that's what I had on hand), and I also used canned black beans that were flavored with lime juice. I think the lime juice was an excellent addition, and strongly recommend it! Also, even though it sounds weird to stir in refried beans... do it!
A Winner

I got this recipe from one of Racheal's cookbooks after my sister asked my to make a vegetarian chili for her upcoming Christmas open house. Since I'd never made a vegetarian chili before, I figured I'd better start early and try multiple recipes until I found one I liked. This was the first I tried and stopped right there. This chili has wonderful full flavor. I was a little dubious about adding the refried beans but I'm glad I did. It thickened the chili and added more flavor. I also added corn, chopped celery and chopped zucchini. My sister sampled it and definately wants me to make this for Christmas.
Great Chile

My chapter of the Farmington Area Jaycees (Michigan) held a fundraiser for the Junior Chamber Family AIDS Network called Chili for Children. Each person made a pot of chili and contributed $5 (or if no pot, they paid $10!) I used Rachel's recipe (and gave her the credit) and it won best chili overall! Even the meat eaters didn't care that it was vegetarian. I used the chipolte flavored refried beans - nice twist. Thanks a bunch Rachel!

This is one of my boyfriend's favorite dishes that I make. I leave out the jalepenos since I'm a wuss but it still has plenty of flavor. I actually like this better than meat-based chili. It's awesome with sour cream and shredded cheddar on top and served with southwestern cornbread. Since I usually only cook for myself, I freeze the rest and also freeze pieces of cornbread to go with it. It's GREAT.

I added a pound of browned ground round and used beef stock in place of beer. It was wonderful. Next time I will probably add more jalapeno and maybe more hot sauce because I like it hotter. This recipe won the overall best taste at a chili cook-off at church.

I found this recipe to be more of a dip than a chili recipe. I decided to save the jalepenos for the topping instead of adding it to the chili. (I used the jalepeno slices in a jar.)I also put 3 TBSP of Chili Seasoning to give it a more robust flavor. It was almost too tomato paste tasting even though there's no paste in the dish. The crushed tomatoes and the refried beans probably give it that texture. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't want to serve it as a main dish. It's more of an appetizer in my opinion.
Wow! Perfect for Super Bowl Sunday

I made this for my boyfriend and roommate one night when we were snowed in. I had all the ingredients on hand except for the jalepeno, so I substituted some canned chopped green chiles, which worked out just fine. This chili was fabulous. I was feeding 2 very serious meat eaters, but they gobbled this stuff up so fast there was barely any left for me to have for lunch the next day! Great flavor, great texture, will definitely make again!

Really enjoyed this - very hearty and healthy - you don't miss the meat. I went a little shy on the tomatoes and used the whole can of refried beans since I like a thicker chili. I also cooked the veggies a little longer than listed so that they were softer. It was a touch spicy for me - might use regular instead of spicy refried beans next time. Good stuff.

I suggest reducing the hot sauce quantity by half, it may be a bit too spicy for many folks. I also advise cooking the chili longer...the peppers were too crisp for a true chili mouth feel. Pretty tasty in a pinch tho when you need something nutritious, convenient & quick.
