Peanut Butter Chili

I like vegetarian chili. I like peanut butter. Together, they are awful. Try one of the many other vegetarian chili recipes around.

I have been making chili for many years so added onions basil parsley a bag of dry black beans tossed it in the press cook and let get happy. When done I added peanut-butter hot sauce to taste add very good. I use boxed bone broth because boxed veggie makes my food to sweet. Good clean eating Oh I added corn meal to thicken

Not a fan.

This was surprisingly good! Everything in this recipe is heart healthy and we are adding more of these meals to our daily diet. Tomatoes, beans, garlic are all recommended to lower cholesterol. This sounded like a great way to get all these foods in one dish. I made this almost exactly to the recipe. The only change was I used a natural almond butter with no palm oil, sugar or salt added. Almonds also good on lowering cholesterol. So…I tasted this before adding the the almond butter and I was not loving it. I added the almond butter and it transformed into a much different taste and consistency. If you are thinking chili, you could be disappointed; think of this as a spicy bean stew. It has an almost addictive taste. I went back for a big second dish. The almonds butter worked great for us and will make this again the same way. I think almond butter have a milder flavor than peanut butter plus has more heart benefits. This is a win-win -win for taste , healthiness and ease of preparation! Thank you for sharing this!

Really good! I did substitute celery for the zucchini, grated a carrot in there for extra nutrients and put a tablespoon or 2 of blackstrap molasses. I also added some granular tvp to thicken it a bit

This was so delicious! I feel this is one of those best kept secrets of the kitchen! I told all of my family, friends, and colleagues that they need to try this!

My first time making chili… used Smuckers all natural peanut butter (the type you need to stir due to oil seperation), and didn’t add any salt or black pepper (definitely didn’t need it). It had a unique flavor; you could taste the peanut butter but it combined well, both flavor and texture, with the beans and tomatoes. As easy as this was to make, I think I’ll put it in my list of go to recipes.

This is truly an American made chili! A great combo of beans and peanut butter! The vegetarian way! I added the tortilla chips.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this recipe, but I love peanut butter and I love chili, so I had to try it! I followed the recipe except I added onion, cumin, more water, and a little more chili powder. I usually take longer to make recipes than it says, but this one is actually accurate! Quick and easy recipe. It tasted a little weird the first day, but the leftovers are amazing! The flavors really blend and set together overnight and the peanut butter adds a nice rich creaminess in the background instead of it just tasting like spicy peanut butter soup (which it did the first day). Next time, I’ll try it with chicken broth instead of water and I might add some ground turkey for texture.

Unique and enjoyable flavor. Will cook it again.

If you like more of a thin based chili soup then this recipe is not for you. Adding the peanut butter made it very, very thick and hearty. More of a casserole texture I felt like. If I make it again I would not use as much pb as the recipe calls for. Flavor was great however!

I made this exactly as the recipe is written. Excellent! Peanut butter was not overwhelming at all it just made it creamy. Teenage kids loved it too.

This is Chef Robt. Irvine’s recipe verbatim. Going to give it a go to attempt saving a batch of chili that scorched in my new crock pot (they all heat differently,and every new one is going to require a few test runs to determine it’s “heat”).

I made it pretty close to the recipe. My husband asked where’s the meat? So I decided to add a pound of hamburger. The first time we ate it, it was a little too much peanut butter flavor. However the second night we had it, it was much better. I assume the flavors had a chance to meld together. There was not such a prominent peanut butter flavor. It was good and I would make it again.

Seriously for having only 4 ingredients (minus the spices) it’s really good! I didn’t have cayenne pepper so I skipped it and I added a little more garlic powder than what it calls for but otherwise followed it exactly. My husband was sketchy based on the name but it was really good! I think next time if i added ground beef this could be my new go to recipe for chili.

It turned out good, my wife who is vegan loved it.

I doubled the recipe and I added sauteed diced onion, carrot, fennel and green pepper and used a bit more chili powder than it called for. Also only had garlic powder, no fresh and used 1 large can of kidney beans and a smaller can of mixed beans. Otherwise, followed the recipe and it turned out great…good flavour. Nice and hearty so you won’t even notice there isn’t any meat! Served over brown rice with frozen peas and corn stirred in. I left the cayenne out of a portion for my 4 year old and he gobbled it up so we WILL be making this again…definitely a keeper!

I was looking for a non-meat chili and picked this one. The peanut butter gave it a protein taste that has been missing from other non-meat recipes. I did add one coarsely chopped red onion and 1/2 red bell pepper.

Super yummy. A new Fave.

Although this recipe is not the kind of chilli I make, I do endorse using peanut butter as a good a secret ingredient. In the 1970s I read a story of a restaurant in Texas where everyone would travel many miles to order their chilli with an addictive secret ingredient. One day, a customer began choking while eating it and died before he could be rushed to the hospital. Their secret was out. The man was allergic to peanuts. So I’ve been cooking my chilli with peanut butter from that time on, but warn people …just in case.

leave out the peanut butter it was smelling great until I added that , if someone says you can’t ruin chili you can say yes you can add peanut butter, Feel like I was pranked but I love chili with a peanut sandwich so I tried it.
