this recipe was really tasty! i cut back on the chili powder a bit to suit our tastes. the only problem i had was that it got a bit soupy by the end of cook time - so i added about 1 cup of cornstarch to thicken it up and it was delicious!

Absolutely delicious - REALLY spicy, the mention of guacamole and sour cream is not really a suggestion. The chili had a great full body and did not seem too watery. A couple minor changes/substitutions I made - 1/2 less onion, 1/2 T of red pepper powder instead of Tabasco (I was out), 1 can of kidney beans instead of black beans (again, I was out). Even my carnivorous fiancee approved.

This was REALLY, REALLY good. Out of necessity I did a substitution on the beans, but I don't think it made much difference.

This was really good; the chili flavor was like a meaty chili and not predominantly vegetable flavored as some veggie chilis are. The red bell pepper was particularly good. I added the tofu as it said but I think in the future I'd try soy burger. Even in the slow cooker all day the tofu just didn't taste like much. Also, I used half the onion it said and it was fine.

This is the best chili I've ever had. As a recently new vegetarian I was surprised as the tofu tastes just like meat! You'd never miss the meat. My carnivorous boyfriend loved it. I halved the recipe and it easily could of fed 6, so it makes A LOT! I'm not the biggest chili fan but I never thought to serve it with nachos, guacumoule, sour cream and cheese, a la Mexican style. Great idea and I'll totally make this one regularly.

This recipe was very satisfactory to all of my guests, even though I was the only vegetarian present. I didn't attempt to "fool" my guests (this is so cruel), but prepared them ahead of time I was preparing a vegetarian chili. They really enjoyed the spicy flavor. I served the chili with vegan cheese and a tofu sour cream, fresh coleslaw (prepared with veganaise), and homemade rolls. My non-vegan family and friends truly enjoyed this animal-friendly meal.
