I originally found this recipe typed out on a random Facebook post when I was trying to find a copy cat recipe for chili I had at a tiny diner in Vermont. The recipe was not a copy cat but it seamed to be on the right track so I went for it. The recipe wasn't vegan but it was easy enough to make it so and then I modified the hell out of it so I'm calling this version of it mine! Hope you like it.
This recipe takes about 2 hours & serves 4-6 (my partner & I ate 3 servings each)
1 package of Impossible Burger Ground

Cayenne pepper
Black pepper

Serve with any carb of your choice. I love it with corn chips & I'm always loving it with mac & cheese! Crackers, rice, and potatoes are also great options!
