"Crafted with a mix of beans, spices, honey, and…beer, this Sweet Spicy Chili is a nutrient dense and yummy meal. This recipe is vegan, although you could definitely swap out the veggie crumbles for ground turkey, beef, or shredded chicken! Add in your favorite toppings, like avocado or shredded cheese, to make this meal something special. If you want something equally as filling, but more traditional than our Sweet Spicy Honey Chili, try our Turkey Chili. Turkey is lean, high in protein, and (if bought from a solid company) more environmentally friendly than beef or pork."
