This vegetarian chili is till every bit as warm, comforting, and filling as a classic beef chili. Three types of beans do the heavy lifting in the chili and “beef” it up. It’s filled with warm spices and a jalapeño adds a little extra heat. Add a second or keep the seeds in for even more spice! Serve it on a cold night with a slice of homemade cornbread.
