• Makes A LOT and is so good and easy, I think I’ll see if I can get my son to introduce this to his Boy Scout Troop on a future campout.
• In all fairness this is leftover chili from Tuesday’s dinner.  This is a healthy alternative to a meaty Chili Con Carne’ and you can’t even tell it doesn’t have meat with the “faux” hamburger in it.  Good recipe as is, but next time I think I sauté up the onions in some olive oil to sweeten them up a bit before adding the rest of the ingredients and possibly throw in a touch of sugar.   Maybe throw in some green chilies for a touch of heat.
