Eli's Damn Good Vegan Chili | Easy + Meaty + GF Veggie Chili Recipe | The Vegan Test Kitchen
This chili is so good it'll make ya smack your momma. But maybe don't do that. Easy, meaty, veggie-filled and gluten-free, this classic vegan chili recipe is my personal favorite, and my go-to during chili season. Just try to stop at one bowl.
