A winning chili for both vegetarians and omnivores that is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or family meal! I have a very special recipe for you today. It’s my first official vegan recipe for Damn Delicious! See, I try to eat healthy most of the time. But trying out vegan recipes is always a bit of a struggle because abstaining from dairy and egg products is almost impossible! But this chili here? Yeah, it makes veganism seem completely doable. Plus, with a side of cornbread, you'll be sure to be asking for seconds!
