how can this be made into a vegetarian chili?? Hi Matt

[Guest guest]

I would make the chili and add one cup of TVP reconstituted during

the last couple of hours of cooking or you could toss 1 - 2 cups of

the frozen crumbles in. Should work just fine. You are already used

to this chili having meat in it so for sure I would use a substitute.

Hope this helped......Donna

Interesting about the beer ingredient! I wonder if that is good only

in carnivore's chili? What kind of a flavor does it add?

the beer ingredient to me makes a big difference in the flavor but it has to be

a dark beer so it has all those flavors that they include. you want the

bitterest darkest beer you can get from my experience since they have the most

molasses(i think thats what it is) in the cooking. when i tested it using a

light beer it was almost the same as using water. i just cannot describe the

flavor it adds cause its many combined. I do not know how it would work in a

veggie version in fact never thought about that making a difference.

guess i am gonna havto do some testing.
