Veggie Chili con Carne

Veggie Chili con Carne

While it may be May, this is still Wisconsin. We have plenty of chili weather left this spring, so here’s a new version to add to your repertoire. I especially love this one because while it includes meat, it’s as a supporting actor, not the staring role. Instead the focus in on a slew of veggies.
