Thanks to our friends from Outpost Natural Foods in Wisconsin for this tasty recipe!
Outpost has been serving up this chili every day for more than a decade. It’s party-ready and freezes great for an easy, ready-made meal. It’s simple, satisfying and a bean lovers’ delight relying on textured vegetable protein (TVP) for its meatiness. The TVP will plump up as it cooks.
In the month of October, we celebrate co-ops. Why? Because they are awesome! We feature recipes from co-ops around the country in our special Co-op Recipe Guide.
