I tried this recipe, well, I'm usually a good judge about how things will taste by the ingredients. Not this time. The sundried tomato flavor was too strong for the chili (and I used less) and the texture of the tofu crumbles did not feel like real meat. If I make a mushroom/vegetarian chili again I will be looking for a different recipe

I don't love chili and I've been searching for a recipe that I would like because my husband does like chili. I really think I love this one and he likes it a lot as well. We did add 2 extra cans of beans and some extra mushrooms though.
