My husband and I love this recipe. I add a cup of water to make it a little more "soupy", but the flavor is still there! This is one of our favorites.

Lately I've been very mindful of using up what's in my fridge and cupboard. I try to keep a lot of staples on hand to supplement the ingredients that I want to finish off before they go bad. Tonight I had sweet potatoes, an onion, and a bag of spinach that I needed to use up before expiration. I googled these ingredients and came across this recipe. Lucky me, I had a can of black beans in the cupboard. I halved the sweet potatoes and onions (since that was all that I had left), added the full amount of spices, honey, garlic, and coffee, added a can of black beans and chopped up the non-wilty spinach. I had no can of tomatoes, so I subbed 1 cup of chicken stock, the rest of my ketchup bottle (1/4 cup) and the rest (1/4 cup) of a Garlic grilling/marinade Tabasco Sauce that I had in the fridge. I followed all the instructions, adding the spinach and my chicken stock/ketchup/tabasco sauce mixture in lieu of the canned tomatoes. I served this over some long grain brown rice and this was perfect! Added a dab of Sriracha and I was rubbin' my buddha belly. Thank you for the fab flavored recipe!

This one is a keeper! Only deviations were to eliminate the cayenne (not a lover of that spice) and the use of fire roasted diced tomatoes (yum). Hubby and I both loved it. The flavor blends are unique and mouthwatering. I would order this in a restaurant! Try it, you'll like it.

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.
