Chili is a hearty dish I love experimenting with. This meatless version I created is low in fat, but high in flavor. Everyone tries to guess the secret ingredient…no one ever thinks it's coffee. —Jessie Apfel, Berkeley, California

Very tasty and filling.

I followed this recipe exactly as written and the chili turned out extremely bitter. I had to add some more salt and some honey to it to make it edible. I think the chocolate & the coffee together is just too bitter and the kidney & black beans make it very bland also.

GREAT! we kept thinking we might need to change something, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I made this for lunch today, and it was VERY GOOD. You really don't miss the meat. I've been trying healthy meals for my husband who just had a heart attack. Cutting back on meat and sweets, as he's also a diabetic.

I agree with theeeyoreguy. I added a pumpkin and sour cream topper to mine and it was great. Who knew?
