LENTIL AND BLACK BEAN CHILI

I’ll be making another big batch of this Lentil and Black Bean Chili for this, because it’s soooo delicious and I ate all of the current batch that I made!


This Lentil and Black Bean chili is Vegan, and so hearty that honestly you can’t even tell that there is not meat in it.

I recently discovered Lentils and I absolutely love the flavor of them. To me it’s one of the best beef replacements in certain meals, especially this chili!
