Sounds like a great meal. Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sunday, stop by and link up again. Have a great day!!
Mmm, I love all kinds of chili and this one sounds delicious! I especially appreciate that you’ve used dried, rather than canned, beans. So much better that way! I haven’t done Boca anything in a bit but I might have to find some since my daughter is considering going vegetarian and then doing a vegan challenge. Gotta make sure she has homey, comfort food to keep her happy and healthy!
I love this recipe! I generally make this for meatless Monday’s, and have even uses it as a topping for a potato bar dinner, too! Thanks for stopping by.
I use Boca Crumbles a lot as a meat substitute. This looks so good and you’d probably never miss the meat! Found your recipe at the Two Cup Tuesday Link Party. I am the hostesses of Tickle My Tastebuds and would love you to stop by and link up this recipe.
