You will not believe the incredible depth of flavor in this meatless chili!  Made using Red Gold Diced Tomatoes Chili Ready and Red Gold Crushed Tomatoes Chili Ready.  It may look like a lot of ingredients, however, you can make this FAST!  If you want to add shredded chicken to this to stretch it even further, go right ahead.  It is delicious that way also!  Once you make this Vegetarian Chili, you may never go back to traditional chili!   @Soufflebombay   @thefeedfeed
