Come in from the cold to a steaming bowl of this zesty three-bean chili. The bulgur adds great texture and heartiness, so you won't miss the meat. —Tari Ambler, Shorewood, Illinois

I made this for a weeknight dinner and it was a great standard recipe for vegetarian chili - I omitted bulgur (but will try next time) and just served over elbow mac. Delish!

Great chili. No cinnamon or allspice. Just add the bulgur to the chili. No need to cook it seperate. Give it a little more broth to compensate what the bulgur will soak up.

Fantastic! The bulgur, once cooked, adds a surprising nutty taste and a pleasing texture to the chili. For my second batch, I used mildly hot peppers and the result was equally delicious. I actually made a triple batch and canned some for the winter (freezing would work just as well). Absolutely worth the time!

Absolutely will make again! The flavor and texture of this chili beats any chili that I've tasted. Plus, it's so healthy for you. I did add some cumin. Even my husband liked it (which is hard to find something new that he likes).

I absolutely loved this chili recipe. Made it last night -- easy -- followed it exactly - didn't even have to adjust any seasonings -- each of my family members had more than one serving. Great Recipe.
