  1. I made this last week and had it with cornbread. I was seriously looking forward to tasting it the next day. Unfortunately, later that night I was taken to the hospital in the ambulance (unrelated to the chili ;) ), and my husband finished it off before I came home! LOL Today, I am making it again and once again look forward to having it the second day. I cannot imagine that it could possibly be better than it was the first time last week, but...if it is, WOW!!! BTW, I made my own chili beans by soaking then cooking 2 cups of dry black beans. Soak overnight and cook for at least an hour with a mixture of thyme, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and salt. They really added to the wonderful taste.
     
  2. AMAZING!!! LOVED IT!! My 7 year old wants it for dinner every night he announced after eating it! Mmmmmmmm Thanks for the post!
     
  3. This was phenomenal! My husband, a die hard carnivore said this was one of the best meals I've ever made. I added a can of corn and a pinch of cayenne and served it with cilantro and a few slices of avocado (which was a great substitute for sour cream). This could not have been better!
     
  4. This is a quick meal to put together in my dutch oven.....and it's delicious! The lime juice and zest really comes through. I added a few dashes of Tabasco sauce for extra zing. And the cilantro garnish adds color and flavor. I'll make this again for sure. A great make-ahead dish for company.
     
  5. Fantastic, I'm so pleased I tried this. Great flavour combination, just the right amount, not overpowering the beans or yam. I made as written but left out most of the 'heat', let people add hot sauce on the side. I used yam instead of sweet potato, and was pleased that it didn't break apart very much. Everyone liked the lime flavour a lot. Planning to triple this recipe and serve it for a big function in a few weeks. Thanks for introducing me to this Prose!

I try to eat vegan, and most of my creations are also gluten-free because my husband is Diabetic/Celiac. I don't post any recipes I have not personally tried and liked.
