Cornucopia Chili image

This is a wonderful vegetarian recipe from the Cornucopia Restaurant which was in South Bend, IN. It makes a very large pot of chili. Freeze leftovers for a future meal, or cut ingredients in half for a normal pot of chili.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of beef in this chili. It was still delicious!

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to taste and it was much better.

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I've tried many chili recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The combination of spices is perfect and the beef is so tender.
