I loved this recipe as a healthy version of chili! I did not miss the meat at all, but thought it could use a little less honey. It was a little sweet for our tastes.

We loved this! We are meat eaters but I have introduced Meatless Mondays and this recipe was the first big hit!

I made as written except I didn't add cayenne since my husband doesn't like anything really spicy. I wasn't sure about the recipe but had the ingredients and wanted something different. I am glad I gave it a try and will definately make again.

I love this chili. The flavors compliment each other so well! It's even better the next day.

This was awesome! I never made anything like this so I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved it!!! I cut the recipe in half b/c I knew I'd be the only one eating it. I used Del Monte Zesty Chili style diced tomato and eyeballed the spice amounts. I also used vegetable broth in place of the coffee and at the end added a bit more b/c I like it a little more soupy. Awesome!

I have made this a couple of times and loved it, though I did cut down on the spices a little. It was a little dry but my husband and I enjoyed it anyway. I will try adding some broth next time.

Great! We took the advice of others and added 1c broth + 1c water, glad we did. Substituted 2 tsp of brown sugar for the coffee and honey.
