My husband became a vegetarian over a year ago, so you could imagine what a change it was for me as well, as the cook in the family. I feel really proud of him because he appreciates good food and he very much enjoyed eating all types of meat dishes from a great hamburger, to a juicy steak, to a gourmet fish dish, but now, he won’t eat anything with a face 🙂 So, I am always looking for good vegetarian recipes for him and the other day I made this chili and he loved it!Salt and pepper

We like to eat vegetarian at least two times a week. This is a great recipe, I like the three different beans & the chipotle here!

I can imagine:-) My hubby is almost a veg.. will only chicken if he has to & has not other option but to eat.. like when we are outside.. (we do only chicken & fish at home & outside).. it is not easy cooking veg. & non veg at home for a small family.
But i really would love a veg. chili for myself, esp. such a gorgeous looking one.

What a great looking recipe and perfect for me - vegetarian! But what is chipote in adobo? is there any chance I would find it in Australia? Would some other chili pepper work instead?
Erica
Hi joy,
Yes, you can use any chili pepper you find.

I have tried to get my husband to stop eating meat before but he just has a fit!
Your chili recipe looks wonderful! I just made a chili recently using chipotle too. It really adds nice flavor!

How interesting that your husband is a vegetarian. Of course, this presents interesting food challenges to keep a lot of variety. Today there are so many wonderful vegetarian dishes. I think it is much easier today to be a vegetarian and still really enjoy food than in the past.
As always, your vegetarian chili looks great.

I don't know what I'd do if my husband gave up meat! I think I'd cry LOL. Your chili looks and sounds fantastic. I bet with all the goddies and great flavor, one probably wouldn't even miss the meat!
