I was a vegetarian for years and this chili is the result. It's my go-to chili recipe, I always freeze some for later. Be sure to use a pure chile powder, not a blend. My favorite is ancho, but if you like chipotle that's also readily available.

This chili was bland and boring. It didn't have any flavor at all. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This chili was okay. It wasn't anything special, but it was edible. I probably won't be making it again.

This chili was terrible! It was way too spicy, and the bulgur made it really thick and gloppy. I couldn't even finish it.

This chili was good, but not great. It was a bit too salty for my taste, and the bulgur didn't really add anything to the dish. I probably won't be making this again.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! The chili was bland and watery, and the bulgur was completely mushy. I don't recommend this recipe.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected, and the bulgur was a bit too chewy for my liking. I probably won't be making this again.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! He said it was the best chili he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This chili is so good! I love the combination of bulgur and beans. It's also really easy to make. I just threw everything in my slow cooker and let it cook all day. It was perfect for a cold winter night.
