Fantastic World Foods Vegetarian Chili Bulk Mix, 3.33-Pound Bags(Pack of 3)

They did it. They killed her. What did we do to deserve for such a blessing to be taken from us?I cry when I think this will be my last bag ever. I grew up on this chili. I brought this chili with me to elementary school, cooked it for my first boyfriend, feed it to my husband... I bought the three bags here, and gave one to my sister and one to my mother. I already regret this generosity. I LOVE this chili. It's so easy, so tasty, and so adaptable. Not to mention healthy. It's relatively low calorie and so good.I can't get over this loss. So I will mourn you, Fantastic Foods Chili, until I find another. If anyone out there knows a good replacement recipe or wants someone with whom to reminisce about this sadly lost fantastic Fantastic food... I'm here for you. Let's weep together.Waaah! ...weh.

I bought this mix three years ago from a local health food store that went out of business and was very glad to find it on Amazon. It is an excellent base for vegan or vegetarian chili. Nothing beats homemade chili, but it takes a lot more time than making chili with this mix. I repackage it to carry it on camping and boating trips, as well as using it at home. Add water, a can of beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and any other embellishments you want. Voila!

I LOVE the flavor and texture of Fantastic World Foods chili — but that’s not what I got in the mail. I got 10 pounds worth of milled rice. And Amazon says since it’s food, it’s not eligible for return. Now I don’t have chili and have to fight for my money back. What a bummer.

I have used this to make chili during all this stupid COVID mess, ha, but also I use it during Lent. AMAZING product. I have used it to make chili, of course, but also to make taco salad and vegetable soup. It's versatile. I like to use it to make a "Wendy's" style chili. If you like a certain type of chili seasoning, I suggest adding a little of it to this. This has a sort of coriander or cumin taste to it that's good, just not what is my preferred, so I added seasonings (not chili powder) to it to make it have more of a flavor that I'm used to, and that worked really well. Highly recommended. And it's a good value. Big money up front, but you get a lot of servings.

I love this product!!

Beware that this chili has 37% daily rec allowance of sodium (salt) in ONE-THIRD of a cup! It's delicious so you're going to eat ONE CUP, at least, making you exceed the recommended salt level for the day with just your lunch!

By itself this chili is pretty good, but one dimensional (faux meat in chili sauce): 3.75 Stars. -But this product is great (4+ Stars) if you use it as a 'meat' and spice base for your chili: add tomatoes, onions, peppers, beans, etc. Be warned 10 pounds (and I did receive 10 pounds) is a lot of chili -especially if you add to it! -One half of a three plus pound bag filled a very large pan (sans additional veggies).

I used to purchase this in smaller amounts -- or at least, something VERY similar. Then I couldn't find it anywhere for several years. I really missed that good vegetarian chili. When I found this on Amazon, I couldn't believe my good fortune! I really like this product and can't say enough good things. The only thing I dislike is that it comes in such a large quantity. My family of 4 will take a long time to finish an order. But I'm SO HAPPY to have found it again!
