• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onions until tender. Mix in the veggie burger crumbles and garlic and cook until the crumbles are no longer frozen.

I became a vegetarian just over a month ago. I lived in Cincinnati when I was younger and always loved Gold Star Chili. I tried this recipe and was thrilled. I even served this to my boyfriend (who is still a meat eater :( ) and he couldn't believe how wonderful it was. I may be able to convert him yet!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I always loved chili dogs, they were one of the hardest things for me to give up. I know what I'm making for dinner tonight, and many other nights!

I will have to try this chili. I saw an almond cheese mentioned today and would love to know where to find it. Thanks

My grandparents live in Cinci so i spend a lot of time there, and Skyline Chili is my favorite :) so i've made this a million times. I always put Soy Crumbles in instead of burger if you can find them, and chic peas.
