I keep in mind when I cooked chili con carne for the first time. It was years ago, and it was so simple! I fried some beef and after that ... I opened up a pack of spices mix! I added it to the meat along with tomatoes, a sprinkle of water and also red kidney beans and done! Yes, although I am ashamed to confess to it now, I need to confess that I used a shop-bought mix to make that meal in the past. There is something even much more embarrassing. When that all set to prepare packet wasn't readily available any longer, I stopped cooking chilli con carne. Why? I reflected then that making it from the ground up was too complicated and that I would certainly never achieve the same taste.
When I lastly got my courage and also a excellent dish, too! I realized that thanks to cooking it myself, I knew what exactly was in it. And also it tasted possibly even better than the one I used to make. No surprise then that it quickly turned into one of my family's much-loved meals.
When my child determined to become vegan, I knew I had to encounter one more difficulty. I had to prepare a meal that is based upon meat but without the meat. And undoubtedly, I needed to make it taste like a real thing.

I still desired to get the very same taste of the Vegetarian Chili Con Carne as we understood from the Chili with meat.
