I make this without chilis or chili powder and add mushrooms and grated cheese. It tastes lovely and has become a staple in my house, so easy to make and really fills you up in winter. Highly recommend this recipe

Response from Quorn

Maybe we should try these tips as well!

Just made this to the recipe & it tastes wonderful. Looking forward to us taking it camping this weekend to keep warm!! (I added half a teaspoon of the optional chilli powder to mine!) thank you xx

Response from Quorn

We love to hear you enjoyed it so much! It's an added bonus when you can take it camping with you for extra warmth (especially with the added chilli powder) :)

This is one of my go-to recipes it’s so flavourful and delicious. I made it for myself and another veggie at a dinner party once and the meat eaters tasted some and said they wanted this instead of their normal chilli.

Response from Quorn

Our chilli is perfect for veggies and meat eaters alike!
