Beyond Meat Chili. I am again venturing into the plant based meat space, because I am so very interested in alternative meat products that can make a dish feel and taste like it has meat in it. I think that this is crucial to encouraging dedicated meat eaters to try a plant based diet. I continually read about partners who want to try an alternative eating style, but can’t convince their other half to even consider it. These products offer a compromise.
The first alternative meat recipe that I posted was the Beyond Sausage Sandwich. ( I honestly really liked the sausage. It definitely tasted like sausage, even though it wasn’t exactly healthy. Beyond Meat products do have additives that I prefer that my food not have and I avoid them whenever possible.
I still feel like these products are a positive step toward creating and maintaining meat free diet and this is especially true in households that have several different diet preferences. It is hard to feed a vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, meat eater and junk food eater at the same table. Try this one pot chili with Beyond Meat “beef” and see what you think.
