I remember when I prepared chili con carne for the first time. It was many years ago, and also it was so very easy! I fried some beef and after that ... I opened up a pack of flavoring mix! I added it to the meat together with tomatoes, a splash of water and red kidney beans and done! Yes, although I am embarrassed to confess to it now, I have to admit that I used a shop-bought mix to make that recipe in the past. But there is something even more awkward. When that ready to prepare package wasn't readily available anymore, I quit preparing chilli con carne. Why? I thought back then that making it from scratch was as well difficult and that I would never ever attain the exact same taste.
When I ultimately got my guts as well as a excellent dish, also! I realized that thanks to cooking it myself, I recognized what exactly was in it. And also it tasted possibly also much better than the one I used to make. No surprise then that it soon turned into one of my family's preferred meals.
Nevertheless, when my daughter decided to become vegetarian, I knew I had to face an additional obstacle. I had to cook a dish that is based on meat but without the meat. And also certainly, I needed to make it taste like a real thing.

I still wanted to get the very same taste of the Vegetarian Chili Con Carne as we knew from the Chili with meat.
